Frayer Model
This is a "Frayer Model." This is what we do throughout the unit and is due at the end of the unit usually. These allow us to learn vocabulary in an incredibly unique way, compared to just normal flashcards. It starts with a definition of the word in the top left box. Then, in the top right box, it contains characteristics, or a different description. The bottom left is a picture, or example, of the word, and the bottom right is a non-example of the word. These are definitely better than normal flashcards because the pictures help visual learners, and the characteristics help those who learn in different ways.
Randomization
This work of code is the latest thing we have been working on. We have been learning how to loop certain things, how to randomize, and much more! This scene has to do with under the ocean. The random things that can be made here are seaweed, fish, and light beams. This is actually a lot of fun to me because being able to write one line of code that is able to produce an infinite amount of different combinations and have something different come out every time is fascinating to me. Coding is definitely really starting to catch my eye!!!
Antenna Code
My partner Matt and I made this antenna strictly out of functions. We started with making one side of the antenna. We made functions made for going right, turning around, and many more. Also, once I made this, I encountered an issue with the antenna overlapping. To solve this, I asked my friend Conor who seemed to be doing well. He helped me out and eventually we made an antenna, but out of code.
