What's Going On? September 26th through September 30th

 Thought for the Week

It's Homecoming Week!

Join in the fun and participate in some of the activities going on this week as we celebrate all things North!

AP Computer Science Principles

This week, students will continue working with looping structures and variables.  We will also take a closer look at the types of errors that we will encounter while writing computer programs.  We will wrap up the week by examing variables and practice some AP-style multiple choice questions that we might encounter during our AP exam in May.

App Development

This week, students will participate in our first summative end-of-unit app challenge.  This summative is called "Hello World".  Within this app, students will demonstrate their ability to add elements to our storyboard and make connections to our code.  Students will also have the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to work with basic variables within their program.

Programming the Web 1

We will start off this week by wrapping up lesson 3 web assignments that include 3A: Lists and 3B: Black Goose Blog.  After this, students will start learning about how to add links to their web pages.  We will learn how to link to other sites as well as how to link within our own site.  Along with this week, students will read chapter 6 in our textbook while completing the accompanying reading guide (due Wednesday).  Students will have two web assignments to complete throughout the week.  In assignment 4A, students will add a series of links to an existing site for "Jen's Kitchen".  In assignment 4B, students will work with a glossary page and demonstrate their ability to add links within a single page.
