What's Going On? April 22nd through April 26th

Thought for the Week

 

Programming for the Web 1

This week, students will focus on wrapping up lesson 10 and completing lesson 11.  For our lesson 10, students learned how to create "minimalist cards" using Flexbox techniques.  During class on Monday, students will wrap up this assignment by adding color to our last row.  Once this is complete, we will spend some time talking about some different layout techniques, including fixed-width layouts, liquid layouts, and hybrid layouts.  We will create a sample of each of these types.  Once this is complete, students will take some time to apply their knowledge on the "Mt. Olympus" website.

Time is running out to submit our AP Create Tasks to the AP Board.  All Create tasks must be uploaded to
the digital portfolio site by April 30th at 10:59pm.  PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST DAY!!! If you do not submit your project by the due date, you will forfeit 30% of the AP Score!!!!  Please see Mrs. Kamenar ASAP if you have any technical issues.

During class this week, we will spend some time reviewing "Big Idea 2" on Data.  Students will use their "5 Steps to a 5" book to review the important concepts covered in this section and practice some multiple-choice questions.  We will also begin our review of "Big Idea 3" on Algorithms and Programming.

What's Going On? April 8th through April 12th

 Thought for the Week 

Modified Schedule for the Week. As a reminder, Freshmen and Sophomores will complete the ACT Secure and Juniors will complete the ACT on Tuesday, April 9th.  This will lead to a modified schedule for the rest of the week.  Monday will be a "Tuesday"-style schedule.  On Tuesday, we will complete standardized testing.  The rest of the week will proceed as scheduled.

Programming the Web 1

For the first part of this week, students will work to complete their midterm project, "Border Collie
Rescue". Students will have through the end of class on Thursday to complete this project. Students who need additional time are encouraged to come in during JIT to have additional time to work in the lab. At the end of the week, we will move on to Lesson 9 where we will learn how to adjust the placement of some of our elements using floating and positioning. Along with this lesson, students will complete the following:

• Read Chapter 15 in the Learning Web Design textbook
• Complete the Lesson 9 Reading Guide
• Lesson 9 Review Questions
• Project 9A: 15-1 (page 395), and 9B: 15-3 and 15-4 (pages 414 and 416)

AP Computer Science Principles

This week, students will focus on "data".  We will wrap up our Activity 3.1.1: What's the Point, where we are making graphs based on data in a Google Sheet.  We will use the analysis tools in order to match each set of data with the trial description.  For the rest of the week, we will take a look at various ways to analyze a large collection of data.
