What's Going On? November 11th through November 15th

App Development


This week, we will wrap up our discussion on functions.  Students will spend time during class on Monday writing our fourth installment on our technical blog about functions.  Students will define functions, describe the elements of a function header, and describe how to use/call a function.

Next, we will turn our attention to conditional statements.  Students will spend time practicing how to evaluate a condition and writing algorithms based on defined criteria.  Along with our conditionals study, students will take part in a code challenge, a formative assessment, and another technical blog post.



AP Computer Science Principles

This week, we will continue our study of the Python programming language.  Students will spend
some time working with Strings, lists, and tuples.  Toward the end of the week, students will be introduced to some looping structures.  Students will also participate in some practice AP exam questions to help us prepare for the AP exam in May.





Programming for the Web 1

This week, students will continue studying different ways to design layouts using CSS.  During class
on Monday, we will focus on "flexbox".  The flexbox will make it easier for us to design a responsive layout without using the concepts of float and positioning that we focused on during lesson 9.
During the first part of the week, students will participate in a practice exercise that will introduce us to the concept of designing layouts using a flexible container.  Along with this week, students should complete their reading guides by the start of class on Monday and we will take our lesson 9 review questions during class on Thursday.  During class on Thursday and Friday, we will talk about several different ways to design a layout using CSS.
