Today we are going to

15 March
Today you are going to sort something out in your Wiki that I have noticed and I will explain why it happened.

You must make sure you have in your learning page: 1. Your Logo 2. Your spreadsheet 3. Your Magazine Cover 4. Your powerpoint for Logo for year 7s.

You will then be introduced to our next task which is learning about database. We will go over the assessement criteria. Your Assessment for Pupil Progress (APP) will be tracked first in your books. At the end of the unit, you will tick the assessment sheet in Moodle when you are 100% happy that you know the skill.

You will stick the APP sheet into your books. Make sure you date and label all work in line with mark book expectations that are covered by all subjects in the school.

8 March

today you are going to upload your version (if you have done this already dont worry) of the robot h/w to your learning page.

You will also upload version 1 of your learning resource for year 7 students.

After this we will think about procedures.

Look at the learning page for logo. We are going to make the code more efficient. research what is a procedure.

by the end of the lesson. your robot should be improved with a procedure

you have until next Thursday to upload work that has variables in it so it can be assessed. This must be done for you to get grades.

We will then move onto a new topic!

ppt for variables

1 March
Homework: Robot - here it is!


Things to load up while you wait for others
1. Wiki
2. Open Logo software to get us making some excellent objects
3. Open your notebook for any notetaking -date all work and put headers if you are going to use it!
4. If you are super efficient read through our objectives today
5. If you are super, dooper, effective - Go in only one persons learning page and give them feedback on their work.
6. At the end of the lesson, don't forget to Wiki in your learning page 2 new things you learnt today!
Today we are going to do procedures that use variables, specifically variable: Length.

here is the code for square:

First person to get this, post it here for others to use if they still find it difficult

›You will make your code more efficient by using procedures›You will create shapes using variables by changing the length variables (100 150 200)›You will create a house using shapes by changing sizes(variables) especially the length of the shape›You will create a robot for homework using shapes.
the powerpoint to this lesson will be added here at the end of the lesson to help you for homework:

2 Feb Lesson 1
Go through the Criteria of your publisher document making sure you have achieved all the assessment criteria for your DTP magazine cover. When you are happy you have achieved all the assessement, upload it for Peer assessment. You need to then peer assess others work. Peer assess for homework. See Moodle for this and upload to Moodle.

Criteria

Lesson 6/7
Go through this powerpoint first before doing the task below.


This lesson we are going to get better at using Logo to control and create things.
Copy this vocab to your learning area and explain what you know about it already. You can talk to your friends in you have forgotten. Write the answers in your learning page:

  • Vocabulary:
    • command
    • argument
    • procedure
    • turtle
  • Basic commands:
    • fd & bk
    • lt & rt
    • pu & pd
  • Now access moodle and look at the link that takes you to understanding logo http://moodle.standrews.ac.th/moodle/course/view.php?id=221&topic=4
    choose 'logo help'
  • copy the real pages url to your learning page, incase moodle ever goes down so that you have the original source to look at from home!
  • Write 3 new things you learnt from this page you did not know before in your learning page.
  • Open logo and see if you can repead a pattern that you created last week. What is the command for repeat?
  • Save your work, and using the file widget in wiki, upload your file to your learning page.
  • Update the home page with your name and date and explain briefly what you did today.
    • Write 'T' in 2D:
      • given fill & stroke colours.
      • turtle must return to starting point.




9th Feb
Create a powerpoint explaining to someone who has never used logo what the software is for, how to work the software and why learning about control is important.This link might help them with research and help with coding:
Powerpoint example of a learning tool for logo found in
Y:\high school\ict\MsMichele\Year 9\Control - Logo

Students create a powerpoint to teach someone who has never used logo. They will explain what control programming does and why having programming terminology is helpful. they will then explain what instructions are needed to start the program and what logo does. They will screenshot their work to show how to make shapes.

Think about:
  • Commenting
  • Variables
  • Demonstrate variable for size of square.
  • Make picture made up of different sized squares.
Extension:
  • Variables for colour.
  • Develop generic polygon code.
  • Make picture made up of polygons of varying order.
