This week, North will hold a school-wide Service Learning Day/Community Day on Friday. Because of this, Monday will be a "Tuesday-style" schedule, Tuesday will be a "Wednesday-style" schedule, Wednesday will be a "Thursday-style" schedule, and Thursday will be a "Friday-style" schedule. On Friday, all students will be participating in a volunteer activity in the community and/or some sessions at school.
MAP Testing
This week, students will complete their final MAP testing for the year. The reading MAP test is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon and the math MAP test is scheduled for Wednesday morning.
App Development 1
At the beginning of the week, students will wrap up our summative end of unit app challenge, "Word Play". In this app, students are creating a "Mad-Lib" type app. The purpose of this app is for students to demonstrate their ability to create multiple screens within their apps and to pass data between the two. Once this is complete, we will move into our final unit for the semester. We will end the week talking about loops and arrays. Or in other words, how to easily look at a list of data.
This week, students will continue working on their individual "Build Your Own App" projects. We will have an informal "check-in" day on Tuesday where students will report out on their progress. In order to successfully complete this project, students must have a running app and will create a 3-minute video highlighting some of the features of the app. This project is due on our exam day. Optionally, students may choose to submit this final project to the "Mobile Makers" contest. Students who submit their projects may be eligible to win prizes, including an hour of mentoring with a professional developer.
AP Computer Science A
Now that our AP exam is complete, students will spend the remaining time working on a final
project. For this final project, students will create a game that demonstrates the use of artificial intelligence. In other words, students will create a game that can be played against a computer player. While in the design phase of this project, students will think about agile design and work to plan out different "sprints" along the way. This should help students to ensure they have a working viable project at different stages of development.
Programming the Web 1
During this week, students will work on adding to our "Clear Reflections Photography" home page. Students will be adding in three subpages to make up the website. At the end of the week, we will talk about how to host our sites online for the world to see.
