Prior Knowledge &
Skills
- Make sure that Java is
installed and working on the workstations.
- Make sure that the
Java IDE is installed and working.
Planning Notes
- Check that students have the proper hand outs for the class.
- Use PowerPoint presentation to present format to students.
- See that all students have a working copy of the program.
- Give students time to work on the Assignment 2-1
(Appendix 2.2.1).
Teaching/Learning
Strategies
Assessment &
Evaluation of Student Achievement
- a formative assessment
of the assigned work in the form of roving conferences as students work on
in-class tasks (a checklist could be used);
- a summative assessment in the form of evaluating
Assignment 2-1 (Appendix 2.2.1)
- a summative assessment
in the form of a quiz on this activity;
- a summative assessment
in the form of a test on this unit.
