| Duration | Description |
|---|---|
| 25 Minutes | Quiz |
| 10 Minutes | Lesson |
| 20 Minutes | Lab |
| 5 Minutes | Debrief |
- Have students start working on the quiz.
- Talk about how to read code in a loop (you can use something of your choice or the provided Coding Example).
- Go over debugging practices for loops.
- Use
printstatements throughout the code to show where error is. - Alter input to make sure body of loop is working correctly.
- Make sure lists don't go out of bounds/past the end of the list.
- This lab will have students start by reading code and looking for errors while not at the computer.
- After reading through the code they can practice the debugging practices mentioned on the computer to correct the programs.
- Discuss as a class what was most helpful in debugging, highlight those practices throughout the upcoming project.
Make sure to provide extended time on the quiz for any students that have that requirement in an IEP or 504 plan. Provide an Additional Coding Example) for students that finish the lab exercises early.
