Planning Your Program

Your Plan

⬜ Review the Project Requirements and Responses and the Project Rubric to understand the expectations.

⬜ Brainstorm ideas for your project. Ask yourself the following questions:

• What do I want to create?
• Is there a project I have created this Unit that I want to develop further, or do I want to create something from scratch?
• What is the goal of my program?
• Do I want to create a game? tell a story? help someone? solve a problem?
• What programming language will I use? Blocks? JavaScript? Python?
• What part of my program will meet the requirement for sequencing?
• What part of my program will meet the requirement for selection?
• What part of my program will meet the requirement for iteration?
• How will you incorporate strings and/or integers?
• Will you also incorporate sprites/projectiles?
• Will you have calculations?

⬜ Make a plan for your program:

    ⬜ Write pseudocode or draw a flowchart of what the program will do; make sure the program has:
        ⬜ Sequencing (ordered steps)
        ⬜ Iteration (any kind of loop)
        ⬜ Selection (if, if else, else ifs, or switch case that responds to a condition)
        ⬜ User input
        ⬜ Output
        ⬜ Use of strings and/or integers
