Unit7 - Programming Concepts L2

Lesson Objectives

 - Understand and use sequence, selection and iteration in an algorithm
 - Use NOT, AND and OR when creating Boolean expressions

Starter

Think of some real life situations where you:

 SEQUENCE - to do things in a particular order

SELECTION - to do one thing rather than another

ITERATE - to continue to do something until a certain thing happens

Fill in the sheet HERE with your examples.

Controlled Assessment Tip:
Think of some examples of SEQUENCE, SELECTION and ITERATION that you have used in your Controlled Assessment Coursework.

Add a paragraph explaining how each of the above is used in your coursework for extra marks.

Controlled Assessment - Final Changes

You still have 2 weeks left to make any final changes to your Controlled Assessment coursework.

See the FULL MARK SCHEME HERE. Have a go at marking your own work.

You will need to plan your time carefully. 

Access the Planning Document HERE and Open/Save in your Google Drive. You will need to share, once complete.

Take some time to fill in the Planning Document, thinking carefully about what still needs doing and what time you have available after school.


IMPORTANT:
Once completed share the document with me and your new ICT teacher. (see me if you are unsure who that is)
