What's Going On? November 21st and 22nd

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone enjoys their Thanksgiving Break!  Take some time to relax and rejuvenate over your 5-day weekend!

AP Computer Science Principles

This week, students will continue to work on their "Character Quiz" assignment.  Students are writing a quiz with multiple choice questions to determine a character the user most resembles based on their answers.  We have students working on a Pokemon character quiz, a quiz to determine which football player we are most like, and more.  Students will use decision-making structures, lists, and functions to complete this project.  The goal of this program is to get a feel for the type of work we will need to do when it comes time to complete our AP Create Performance task which accounts for 30% of our AP score.

App Development

This week, students will practice working with decisions in our program.  We will work on our conditional statements with our "Conditionals Code Challenge".  Students will have class time on Monday and Tuesday to complete the challenge.  Any remaining time can be used for students to start researching their final project for the semester.

Programming the Web 1

During our short week, students will work on
checking out page layouts with different CSS techniques.  We will spend Monday's class going through the new terminology and techniques.  We will apply what we have learned during Tuesday's class when we complete Web Assignment 11A: Mt. Olympus.
