What are we going to learn today? You are going to get back into the groove of thinking computationally You are going to learn a very simple concept, pseudocode. What is your homework and when is it due ? No homework today	What is the actual plan? We will take a look at our "guess a number game" We will write this in plain English (or rather, pseudocode) You should create a google document and share it with Mr. MacKenty (bmackenty@aswarsaw.org) You will then write a pseudocode program. Program a robot to sort 5 random values in a list Your code should have one verb from each command statement.
Is this graded? your work will count towards a formative grade in some AtL's.
Standards we are covering today Click here for all our standards Analyse an algorithm presented as pseudocode. Level: 3 Construct pseudocode to represent an algorithm. Level: 3	As a computer scientist, you have These are the characteristics every computer scientist works towards. Confidence in dealing with complexity Persistence in working with difficult problems Tolerance for ambiguity The ability to deal with open-ended problems The ability to communicate and work with others to achieve a common goal or solution
