Lessons have been assigned to them based on their diagnostic test results both in Math and Reading. Within each lesson are brain break games. The district is pushing a goal of 45 minutes per week on Online Lessons in ELA and 45 minutes per week in Math to close the gaps found in the diagnostic. Math and ELA are providing some of that time during the week, but not all.

WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: App Development...The Need for Programming Languages!

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: We all use instructions all the time, whether it's directions to get somewhere, instructions to fill out a form, or even instructions from teachers. Natural language is usually too ambiguous for giving precise instructions that can be followed correctly 100% of the time. We need to create more structured and precise programming languages in order to accomplish this.

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will watch a video and explain why or why not it was "bad instructions"

To help us get started, let's brainstorm what "bad" instructions" look like.

NOW: THINK of ONE reason you would call a set of instructions "bad"!

What is the difference between a programming language and natural (every-day) language?

Natural languages are spoken by people...

Think about it. What do you say to your friends in everyday conversations?

Programming languages are intended for machines. They are the languages used by humans to communicate to computer. They are VERY specific and exact!

Both languages contain important similarities, such as the differentiation they make between syntax (set of rules) and semantics (meanings of words) and the existence of a basic composition.
