Lesson 13: End of Course Project
Nevada Standard(s): 3.AP.PD.2, 3.IC.SLE.1
Assessment Suggestion: - As students work on level 1 "Example projects," have them work in groups and take on varying roles (e.g., researcher, programmer, test developer, designer, recorder) in order to collaborate with peers during the design, implementation, and review stages of program development [3.AP.PD.2]. Use students' "Create your project" at level 2 and confirm that their work is authentic in alignment with 3.IC.SLE.1.
