AP Computer Science Principles
This week, we will start to take a more serious look at preparing for the AP Create Performance Task. We will begin by reviewing all of the vocabulary terms that we have been working with that we will be expected to know while creating our project. We will then take a look at how we can manage the complexity of our programs with functions. We will spend some time talking about abstraction and writing our own custom functions. Toward the end of the week, we will start working on a "Character Personality Quiz" where students will work in small groups to demonstrate their ability to write custom functions, make decisions within a program, and work with lists.
App Development
We will start off this week by continuing our work with functions. We will spend Monday and Tuesday's classes working on our "Functions Code Challenge". In this project, students will write and call their own custom functions. Towards the end of the week, we will talk about the scope of a variable and talk about how we can make decisions using "conditional" statements.
Programming the Web 1
This week, we will wrap up our work with lesson 9 by checking in our reading guides on Monday and completing our lesson 9 review questions during class on Tuesday. While all of this is going on, we will also investigate a relatively new concept in Web Development: Flexbox. We will spend some time on Monday playing with a site called Flexbox Froggy in order to learn a little big about how we can use Flex in order to define the layout of our pages. We will complete a sample as a class on Tuesday and then apply our knowledge to our 10A Web Assignment: Minimalist Cards
