- Discuss AP standards and requirements 

- View sample student submissions and test questions and grades

- Unit 2 practice exam

Today's applicable Oklahoma curriculum standards:

L2.AP.A.03 Critically examine and trace classic algorithms (e.g., selection sort, insertion sort, binary search, linear search).

L2.AP.C.01 Trace the execution of repetition (e.g., loops, recursion), illustrating output and changes in values of named variables.

L2.AP.M.03 Create programming solutions by reusing existing code (e.g., libraries, Application Programming Interface (APIs), code repositories).

L2.AP.PD.07 Modify an existing program to add additional functionality and discuss intended and unintended implications (e.g., breaking other functionality).

On today's class agenda:

Read and discuss Unit 2 
     Rock, Paper, Scissors
   
Share and discuss student examples of "Quiz Show" assignment and review for efficiency.

Code
     Rock, Paper, Scissors
     - The solution will require proper sequencing, broadcast, numeric and text string variables, if...else, randomization, and loops to function properly.

** There will be a closed-book quiz tomorrow on Unit 2. We will complete and test on this unit next week.

*Our Unit 2 Project will be due at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, December 7.

On today's class agenda:

- Loops and Variables Mini-Project (45 min.)

This “mini-project” will utilize many of the Scratch concepts that have been taught thus far in Unit 2. You will have a choice between programming a drawing, and electronic keyboard, or a countdown.

L2.AP.M.03 Create programming solutions by reusing existing code (e.g., libraries, Application Programming Interface (APIs), code repositories).

L2.AP.PD.04 Systematically check code for correctness, usability, readability, efficiency, portability, and scalability through peer review.
