9bCS Programming Practice Paper - Scratch

LO: To develop our understanding of the programming section of the course
LO: To develop our understanding of Flow Charts using Flowol

Starter:

THIS IS A PRACTICE COURSEWORK - NOT THE REAL THING

Read through the problem you have been given.
Do your understand what you have been asked to do?
Any questions?

Main:
You are going to complete part a and b today.

(a) List what your drawing program must be able to do. 
Make a plan for the drawing program. 
(You can use flowcharts, pseudo code or any other sensible method of showing how your program will work.)

Open Gliffy - Can you remember this from Year 7?

Use Gliffy to create a flow chart for your drawing program.

CHECK your flow chart with the person next to you - Have you missed any parts off?
Tick your problem paper to show what you have included.

(b) Write a program that selects a black coloured pen.

Open Scratch and complete task b.

(c) Add to the program so that after selecting the pen colour it then draws a square with sides of length 20 and returns to its original position. (A reminder the steps for doing this are shown on the previous page.)

Test what you have made works then give evidence of your program blocks.

Take print screens and annotate them as evidence.

Plenary:
Up date your blog stating what you have learnt today.
