---

Lesson Objectives

• Wrap up Unit 2 (woohoo!).
• Q&A and transition.

**Talking Points**:

• Congratulate them on finishing unit 2!

You Do: Unit 2 Lab - Control Flow

Do you remember the first unit lab? You have a print statement to show the user a movie title and rating.

In today's lab, you will use functions, if statements, and loops. By the end, your movie app will print a movie title, a movie rating, or both, depending on a string value.

Open the file unit-lab-2-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 folder. Copy that to your local folder and work from there.

Try your best! Raise your hand if you really need help.

1 HOUR 18 MINUTES

Teaching Tips:

• Make sure you change the link or point out what PDF to look at, and check the starter code location.
• Make sure all students start with working code - they can get it from the starter code file.
• The lab has instructions and an explanation in it for them to read. Make sure they're all opening the lab instructions okay.
• Stay on this slide until everyone's done or time's up!

Talking Points:

• Remember, throughout the course, there is a lab at the end of each unit. Each lab builds upon the last.

• Does anyone need help with the starter code?

• Right now, let's set up the functions and control flow to print out the values of our variables.

Debrief: Unit 2 Lab - Control Flow

How did it go?

Let's go over it.

Make sure your code works - the Unit 3 lab builds off this one!

Talking Points:

• Bring up the solution (in the solution-code directory) and walk them through it. Be sure everyone understands - and be sure everyone's code is accurate, because the next lab will build off this one!

Unit 2 Wrap Up

What'd we cover?

• Conditionals and Boolean Values
• Lists - append, len, pop, and insert.
• Loops - for loops, while loops, and range.
• Functions - including parameters and return statements.
• Function arguments - *args, kwargs, and **kwargs

Questions?

5 MINUTES

Teaching Tips:

• Briefly review the high-level learning objectives for Unit 2.
• 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, and we're just getting started! Let's take a minute to review what we've learned so far.
• I'm going to read through the topics for Unit 2. 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!
