I began the class today by having both the grade 11’s (TEJ3M) and grade 12’s (TEJ4M) sit down at their desks so I could go over the summative tasks with them on the digital projector. The summative task is worth 15% of their grade and is due for both classes by Fri Dec 19 (by the end of the period).
I first talked to the grade 12’s (TEJ4M). The summative for the grade 12’s will be from the lego robotics unit. The grade 12’s are to complete the final course which I made for them in class (a copy of the course can be found below). The students are to work in pairs and are to do the following: 1.) Write a written report, 2.) submit commented code for their final course and 3.) have a video taken of their robot completing the final course. A copy of the assignment with rubric can be found below. I have also posted an example of the written part below for the students to use as a template. This is worth 15% of their final mark and is due by Fri Dec 19 (by the end of the period).
I then talked to the grade 11’s (TEJ3M). The summative for the grade 11’s will be from the electronics unit, specifically arduino. The grade 11’s are to create a traffic light with a button on the arduino board that will be able to switch through 4 different sequences (a copy of the assignment can be found below). The students are to work in pairs and are to do the following: 1.) Write a written report, 2.) submit commented code for their final traffic light sequences and 3.) have a video taken of their traffic light going through all of the different sequences. I have also posted an example of the written part below for the students to use as a template. This is worth 15% of their final mark and is due by Fri Dec 19 (by the end of the period).
Below you will find a copies of the handouts/worksheets that were distributed/assigned in today’s class.
TEJ3M & TEJ4M – List of students work not submitted (updated) (The students can look at this list to see which assignments/worksheets they still need to hand in. Students MUST tell me when they hand something in so I can update the list)
