Explain what touch develop is to your students: TouchDevelop is a programming environment that runs on your mobile devices. You write scripts by tapping on the screen. You do not need a separate PC or keyboard. Scripts can perform various tasks similar to regular apps. Any TouchDevelop user can install, run, edit, and publish scripts. You can share your scripts with other people by publishing them to the TouchDevelop script bazaar, or by submitting them as an app to the Windows Store or Windows Phone Store.

Learning Objective LO: We’re learning to use procedures to recreate our favourite game characters Lesson Objective: - We’re learning to use procedures to recreate our favourite game characters. Students will need to show the homework.

Homework? Discuss the squares that students have come up with and the pictures they have drawn on their paper. The idea is that they should stick to the grid. It will help them on the next task. Remember?

Adding in a grid? Click on the link to Turtle. Click on the Grid button. This will give you the following piece of code. When you click on the play button, you will notice the grid has appeared. You can now use this as a guide to help you re-create your character.

Game On! You’re required to draw your picturing using a combination of shapes and procedures. You will have the opportunity to colour it in when you have finished it! Extension: - Print off your code and your procedures. See if your friend can guess what your picture is by following the instructions. Students will now start trying to recreate there picture. It may be difficult and some might want to think about colour. Students may not be able to colour the shapes in but they can certainly draw the picture. You should get your students to create procedures for the squares so that they can keep re-using them. Ask the student why I’ve put a big read no entry sign on it. It’s because of the repetition of code instead of using procedures. They can move forward or back and draw the next square over and over.

Project Summary? Print off each script you have created. Annotate your code to show me what it does. Answer the review questions to show what you’ve understood.
