You added error-checking, string formatting, and a `while` loop (but not an infinite one!) — slightly restructuring the code as you went. In this lab, you'll finish the movie app we've been working toward! You'll add an API call to actually get the Rotten Tomatoes rating, prompt a user for whether they want to search for a movie or view a rating, and read in an API key from a file. **Open the file [`Unit Lab 5 Directions`](25-unit-lab-5/unit-lab-5-directions) to see the lab and its instructions. Follow the instructions there.** - *If your solution to the last lab didn't quite work, there's working code provided in the [`starter-code`](25-unit-lab-5/starter-code/movie_app.py) folder. Copy that to your local folder and work from there.* Try your best! Raise your hand if you really need help. -- ## Debrief: Unit 4 Lab — Carefully Adding a Bit More Logic How did it go? Let's go over it. Make sure you understand and your code works — the Unit 5 lab builds off of this one! --- ## Unit 5 Wrap-Up What did we cover? Scripting: * Write scripts that perform file I/O. * Write scripts that take user input. Code abstraction: * Use `itertools` to implement efficient looping. * Use list comprehensions to concisely create lists. Modules: * Add packages and modules to a Python program. * Navigate library documentation. APIs: - Describe what an API is and why we might use one. - Call an API. Questions?

5 MINUTES **Teaching Tips:** - Briefly review the high-level learning objectives for Unit 5. - As you read each bullet aloud, ask students to give you a "fist to five." See **Talking Points** below. - Observe student votes for each item and make a mental note to follow up with individuals who are not feeling confident, or find time to reteach topics that the majority of the class is uncomfortable with. - Take time to go over questions (but remember the parking lot). **Talking Points**: - Wow, we've covered a lot! Let's take a minute to review what we've learned so far. - I'm going to read through the topics for Unit 5. As I do so, I want you to tell me how confident you feel that you've mastered each one on a scale of 0 to 5. - Hold up your fist to indicate 0 — you don't feel confident at all that you mastered this objective. - Hold up all five fingers to indicate 5 — you feel super confident. You're an expert!
