Building Small Projects
👩🏫 Teacher’s Guide
Objective
Students will plan and build a small programming project using an algorithm, variables, input/output, and testing with debugging steps.
Teaching Notes
- Use a simple project idea: quiz game, choose-your-own-adventure, drawing pattern.
- Require planning: goal, inputs, outputs, rules, and tests.
- Emphasize iteration: build small, test, improve.
- Encourage teamwork and sharing with respectful feedback.

Small projects help you practice real programming skills. You can plan an algorithm, use variables, get input, show output, and test to find bugs. Building step-by-step makes projects easier.
Computer Vocabulary and Definition
- — A planned program you build to solve a task or create something.
- — To decide steps before building.
- — To run and check if something works.
- — To improve by making small changes.
- — A mistake that causes problems in a program.

Computer Prtactices
- Project planner: Write goal, inputs, outputs, variables, and rules for a mini quiz.
- Test checklist: Create 6 tests for your project (try wrong input, try correct input).
- Iteration log: Write v1, v2, v3 improvements you would add.
- Debug practice: Read a broken step list and fix the missing or wrong step.
Reflection
- What small project would you like to build?
- What is one step you will take to test your project?
