**Class:** Senior Secondary 2
**Subject:** Information Communication Technology
**Duration:** 80 minutes
**Topic:** Program Development II
#### Learning Objectives:
- Understand the advanced principles of program development.
- Write and debug simple programs.
- Understand and utilize basic programming constructs such as loops, conditionals, and functions.
- Develop problem-solving skills through programming.
#### Materials Needed:
- Computers with installed programming environments (such as Python, Java, or C++)
- Projector and computer (for teacher demonstrations)
- Handouts with exercises and examples
- Whiteboard and markers
#### Lesson Outline:
**Introduction (10 minutes):**
1. **Greeting and Attendance (2 minutes):**
- Take attendance and greet students.
2. **Recap of Previous Lesson (8 minutes):**
- Briefly revisit the concepts from Program Development I.
- Highlight key points such as basic syntax, variables, and simple input/output.
- Encourage students to ask questions or share what they remember.
**Lesson Body (60 minutes):**
*Step 1: Introduction to Advanced Concepts (20 minutes)*
- **Control Structures:**
- Introduce control structures such as loops (for, while) and conditionals (if, else if, else).
- Explain the syntax and purpose of each control structure.
- Provide simple example code snippets and walk through them.
- **Functions:**
- Explain the importance of functions in programming.
- Describe how to define and call functions.
- Discuss parameters and return values with examples.
*Step 2: Live Coding Demonstration (20 minutes)*
- **Writing a Program:**
- Demonstrate the process of writing a small program that includes loops, conditionals, and functions.
- Explain each step clearly and narrate your thought process.
- Example: Write a program that takes a number as input and determines whether it is prime.
- **Debugging:**
- Introduce basic debugging techniques such as reading error messages and using print statements.
- Show how to identify and correct common errors.
*Step 3: Hands-On Practice (20 minutes)*
- **Pair Programming Exercise:**
- Divide students into pairs and provide them with a set of problems to solve.
- Problems should require the use of loops, conditionals, and functions.
- Example problems:
1. Write a program to calculate the factorial of a number.
2. Write a program to find the largest number in a list.
- **Teacher Assistance:**
- Move around the classroom to assist pairs with any issues they encounter.
**Conclusion (10 minutes):**
*Step 4: Review and Q&A (10 minutes)*
- **Summary:**
- Recap what was covered in the lesson, emphasizing key points.
- Discuss the importance of practice in developing programming skills.
- **Q&A:**
- Open the floor for any questions.
- Clarify any concepts that students are uncertain about.
- **Assignment:**
- Assign homework for further practice.
- Example: Write a program to accept a list of numbers and sort them in ascending order.
**Homework/Assignment:**
- **Programming Task:**
- Write a program to calculate and print the Fibonacci series up to a specified number.
- Submit the completed code by the next class.
**Assessment:**
- Evaluate students based on their participation during the lesson and accuracy of the homework assignment.
