4. Natural vs. Formal Languages
Natural languages are the ones we speak.
Called this because we do not invent them, we naturally acquire them.
English, Spanish and French are examples of natural languages.
Formal languages are the ones we invent for a specific purpose.
Programming languages are formal (we invented them for computers)
Math proofs, math logic, and programming languages are examples of formal languages.

5. The Java Language Object-oriented Programming
•High-level language with simple syntax and a mild learning curve
•Platform-Independency (Write Once Run Anywhere)
•Used extensively in industry across different fields
•Stability and massive community (45% of StackOverflow surveyed use Java)
Abril

6. Lessons Learned
Java Programming is a foreign language that is worth learning.
Definitely attainable
Anyone can do it
Coders are needed in all programming languages and industries
Lots of online resources (no pre-knowledge required)

9. Student Responses
-I really enjoyed coding in repl.it. It was a great experience. Being able to have your friends join you is amazing! You can mess around and get work done. My favorite part about this is the ability to see your final product. It is so great to see your hard work actually function. I would totally recommend this to others.
-I liked that it made your mind think about what to put and what to do but another thing is that it involves coding
-What I liked about coding in Repl.it is on how many languages they have for coding, They have more than 51 coding languages.
Repl.it has multiplayer which helps a lot of people since you can get help to code your games,websites, and many more with your friends.In Repl.it you can post your codes online for many people to see what you’ve done.There is also communities that can help you if you are having trouble with your coding.

Students enjoy using codeHS.com
6th-8th grade students
Able to work on this independently at different paces and continue without struggling to be on the same lesson as the student next to them.
