What's Going On? September 16th through September 20th

App Development 1


This week, we will take a look at how to create variables and constants within an app.  These tools
allow us to keep track of different information to be used and referenced within the context of our app.  Students will read through and try out variable creation within our "Playground" environment.  We will also create a demo app to try out our skills together.  We will end the week with a "Variables Code Challenge" formative assessment as well as a brief quiz.

AP Computer Science Principles

Students will start off the week by wrapping up their formative assignments on variable roles.  We will start class on Tuesday by taking a brief formative assessment checking in on our level of understanding of these roles.  Once this is complete, students will start their first summative assessment.  Students will create an app in Scratch and analyze its components.  This assessment will also serve as a practice performance task, getting students prepared for when we submit our final portfolio pieces to the AP board in April.



Programming the Web 1

This week, we will dive into our third lesson of the year.  Students will learn how to mark up our
content using different HTML tags.  We will focus on how to create lists, mark up quotes, and dates.  Students will also learn how use tags to structure a page using tags such as <div>, <span>, <section>, and <article>.  Along with this week, students will need to read chapter 5 in our textbook and complete the reading guide.  We will also have 3 web page assignments to create.  We will finish the week with our 10 multiple choice questions about our markup structure.
