Today, students will have the opportunity to correct any incorrect homework assignments. If students did not have time to finish the programming projects from yesterday, you may allow them time to work on those projects today.
Return student homework packets, or have students place their returned homeworks in a pile on their desk.
Explain to students that they have the opportunity to get full credit on their homework grades by correcting them now, in class. Ask students for suggestions/ideas on how to make sure they don’t miss any errors. (By now students should be used to relying on their error checklist/algorithm.)
Have students work individually to correct their homework grades.
Offer time checks for students so they stay on task.
If students have not finished their programming project from yesterday’s class, allow them to do
so today.
At the end of class, have students trade their homework assignments to evaluate each other’s corrections before submission.
If you have students who are speeding through this lesson, you should encourage them to tackle programming project 1 in Chapter 5.
If you were unable to finish grading student notebooks yesterday, finish them today while students are working. Return notebooks by the end of class so students may use them to study for the exam.
