Turtle art lesson 3

Week 3	Simplifying programming – repeating instructions and blocks
Objectives	Demonstrate simplifying instructions; using repeat instructions/ loops to draw shapes#Visualize space, co-ordinates and shapes through movement and vice versa Visualizing the construction of a shape through a set of repeating instructions Taking inputs and executing instructions; assigning value to a variable, etc Demonstrate the logic of different repeating programming structures.
Hands-on Activity	Activity #1 (Part A) 1.What was the answer to the previous question? 2.The turtle moved 8 times; how did we make the turtle do the action 8 times? (By clicking the start button) 3.Is there a way to give this instruction in a simpler way (encourage the class to think of a process being repeated multiple times) 4.Demonstrate the repeat command 5.We have repeated the command 8 times. 6.What are the other ways in which you would like to have the repeat command work? (When a condition is satisfied, for given input values)
	Activity #1 (Part B) 1.What was the answer to the previous question? The answer is given below. 2.The answer can be found her https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:TurtleCard-2.png How do we make the colours change continuously?
Hands-on Activity	Activity #1 1.Draw any two different polygon with the repeat command. Students have to make a note of the number of repeat instructions and the instructions that are repeated
Hands-on Activity	Activity #2 1.Using the repeat command after taking inputs (defining variables) 2.A programme can take inputs; store value for a given parameter during executing a programme. This is called a variable and can be defined from the palette of variable blocks 3.A series of steps can also be defined as an action from this block 4.Let us construct a polygon of 8 sides and fill it with colour. 5.The first step is to define variable: 6.The next step is to repeat instructions to complete the shape 7.See shape to the side
