WHAT: Design, create and debug a program using computational thinking skills

EMBED:

You have built up quite a lot of skills over the past 6 outcomes. This outcome only has an Embed task because we don't need to learn any new knowledge at this point, we just need to get better at what we already know!

SCENARIO

A teacher would like a spelling test program to test her students on 10 words. The 10 words are:

1. weird

2. accommodate

3. handkerchief

4. indict

5. cemetery

6. conscience

7. rhythm

8. playwright

9. embarrass

10. millennium

You will need to think carefully about how to do this because the spelling can't be displayed on the screen at the same time as asking the student to spell it or they will cheat! Can you find a way around that?

An advanced version of the program would:

  • Give the student a score out of 10
  • Tell the student which spellings they need to try again

CLASSROOM IDEAS:

Paired programming may help support a successful solution for all students.
