Friday (9/23/11)

Warmup:

  • Bring up your animation and make sure it plays with a single-click of the green flag.

Agenda:

  • Animation Evaluations
    1. Receive an evaluation sheet from Mr. Bui
    2. Be sure to put your name at the top. As we go around evaluating each others' animations, leave your evaluation sheet sitting at your computer.
    3. At the gong, go to another computer and play the animation
    4. Complete an evaluation on the original author's evaluation sheet. Be sure you write your name on the author's evaluation sheet.
    5. There will be a gong every 5 minutes
    6. At the end of class, your computer should have 4 evaluations by other people.

Tuesday - Thursday (9/20/11 - 9/22/11)

Warmup:

  1. Make one sprite move and bounce from left to right across the screen
  2. Make another sprite move and bounce from top to bottom across the screen

Agenda:

  • Sprite Looks
    • Changing costumes
    • Saying and Thinking
    • Graphics and Size effects
  • Wait command
  • Sprite Look Practice - Create an animation that retells a movie/story in simplified terms. In your animation, you must employ the following:
    • Background image
    • Sprites that move around
    • Sprites that change costume
    • Sprites and say/think
    • A graphic or size effect being applied to sprites

Friday - Monday (9/16/11 - 9/19/11)

Warmup:

  • Copy the Scratch program that Mr. Bui has posted on the board
  • Do you see a pattern?
  • What do you think we can do to simplify the code?

Agenda:

  • Demo Scratch - Moving and Drawing Assignment
  • Demo Scratch - Sound Board Assignment
  • Iteration / Repeating
  • Iteration Practice Assignment
    • Create a Scratch program that uses the repeat block to draw a staircase
    • Create a Scratch program that draws a circle (HINT: Repeat 360 times turning and moving)
    • Create a Scratch program that repeatedly draws squares across the screen

Thursday (9/15/11)

Warmup:

  • Take out your headphones or borrow a pair of headphones from Mr. Bui
  • Plug in the headphones to the backside of your computer

Agenda:

Tuesday - Wednesday (9/13/11 - 9/14/11)

Warmup:

  • Use Google Image Search to find a school-appropriate image that you would like to use as a sprite. Don't worry if you need to crop (cut out the image.)

Agenda:

Friday - Monday (9/8/11 - 9/12/11)

  • How do we solve problems?
    1. Pair up
    2. Write out the steps involved in making a PB&J sandwich.
    3. How many steps are necessary in making a PB&J sandwich?
  • Share sandwich stories
  • What lessons/problems did we run into?
  • What does programming mean?
  • Introduction to Scratch

Wednesday - Thursday (9/7/11 - 9/7/11)

Warmup:

Agenda:

  1. List people/things/systems that use computers (e.g. air traffic control)
  2. For each of the above people/things/systems, write down the information that they use (e.g. flight information)
  3. List things you have done in any science class
  4. Define the term: "to compute" or "computation"
  5. Share the document with BuiEmail.bmp

Homework:

  • Signed syllabus sheet due by the end of next week (9/16/11). You may turn it in anytime before then.

Tuesday - Thursday (9/6/11 - 9/8/11)

  • Introductions
  • Name cards
  • Lab setup/config
    • Login username is your first initial and lastname (e.g. pbui)
    • Your password is your student ID number
    • Go to Apple (upper left) -> System Preferences -> Accounts -> Change Password
