To understand how program data is stored
To follow the flow of a program's execution
To follow the flow of conditional statement execution

Learning Experience:

Students will start class by writing their 3 minute papers. Now that you've finished working on your first Game Maker project how do you anticipate your enjoyment level writing code will be. Tell me your reasonings. ... Ask class if they think it will be fun
- What is in the MO Folder
- DreamWeaver Demo
- Each student progress report
- Computer Programming
  - Reveiw Steps of Making a Program
    1. Read the problem
    2. Design
    3. Code
    4. Test and Debug
  - Review Programs are made up of
    1. List of instructions
    2. Conditionals /if
    3. Repeating instructions /loops
    4. Breaking things into smaller pieces - problem decomposite - Methods
    5. Computation of Results

Let's start conditionals - A game Maker example of Conditionals is Lives
- Show the Game Maker Program ScoreDemo.gmk and show code of condition
- Put on board the equivalent in psuedo code.
Demo creating a simple calculator in Real basic.
Students go to the computer to create a calculator
I will hand out progress reports to those students who are missing assignments
