Complete Lesson Plans - 2011/12 Year but please read the notes below first. For those using my past lessons, 2010/11 is still available here.

Need a file that is mentioned in the Lesson Plan document? Link to my in-class examples and exemplar files page. This page is not complete so please e-mail me if you need something.
Note that the lesson plans provided are working documents that were created for MY EYES. That means that there may be explanations or activities that are glossed over. If you do not understand any references made in the lessons, please contact me.
I use google docs and our network drives as a means of sharing files with students. Some accompanying files may not be available here. Please contact me for any needed files, requesting them by name.
The lessons do not cover the credits in the specific order listed below. You will find that CS1 and Sec. Lang. 1 are integrated throughout the year.
There are many other options besides the 5 credits listed. The first three are largely considered mandatory, however.
The course title Programming and Game Design 10 is a marketing tool. It fully reflects Computer Science 10 courses offered elsewhere.
