Description
Keeping kids interested in programming takes creativity which is why I created this Hallowe'en* coding project (and they usually got to this part of my course around that time anyway). Planning is such an important part of programming so the first step is to plan the points for a still-life picture. Then, using for loops and graphics functions organized into functions, kids recreate a still-life picture in Python Turtle.
The whole purpose of this coding project is to learn how to break commands into little steps by sequencing them. It also emphasizes code optimization by reinforcing the "KISS" concept.
* If you need more variety in the still-life images check out the 3 Version resource package. It has 3 versions of 3 distinct still-life images.
✸ Some school boards may call a coding project an exit ticket or culminating activity. ✸
Materials have also been modified in English (UK) where necessary.
Duration: Four 75-minute periods.
This package includes:
✔ A Package Description
✔ 2-Page Student Handout
✔ 1 Coding Project + English (UK)
◆ 1 Alternate with a KICA* marking scheme + English (UK)
✔ 3 Rubrics (including a KICA* version) + English (UK)
