What's Going On? Monday September 20th through Friday September 24, 2020

 AP Computer Science A

This week, we will continue with our unit 2 study on introducing classes and defining variables.  Monday's WebEx meeting will be devoted to talking about Graphical Representations in Java.  The rest of the week will be application time for students while we work on Programming Project #2.  We will wrap up the week with our second summative assessment.

Programming the Web 1

We will begin this week during our virtual class on Monday by registering for our transcripted credit through WCTC.  Students who earn a "C" or higher based on the WCTC grading scale will earn FREE transcripted college credit.

Once students are registered we will be wrapping up Unit 3.  In this lesson, students are applying different list style tags and different section tags to create their web pages.  Students should turn in their Unit 3 reading guide on Monday.  We will complete our Unit 3 Summative multiple-choice assessment during our class on Tuesday and our Web Assignments (3a-List Types and 3b-Black Goose News) should be completed and submitted by the end of our class on Wednesday.

On Thursday, we will begin Unit 4 where we will focus on creating links within our webpage.  Along with this lesson, we will read chapter 6, complete the accompanying reading guide (due Monday 9/28), complete our multiple-choice summative assessment, and two web assignments.

App Development

This week, students will focus their attention at the beginning of the week diving into variables and constants.  During our class on Monday, students will participate in a WebEx teams meeting where we will go through our Variables and Constants Hackwich with our iPads.  Students will have the opportunity later in the week to work on a variables code challenge, summarize their thoughts in a technical blog post, and complete a short quiz.  We will wrap up the week by getting started with our first Summative End-Of-Unit App Challenge.  In the "Hello World" app, students will demonstrate their ability to add items to the storyboard of our app as well as make some changes within the code.
