Builds off the use-modify-create strategy and the-block-model to place a focus on reading and understanding code before writing it (e.g. use-modify-create#TIPP & SEE)
Stage | Description |
---|---|
*P*redict | Students received a prepared program and predict what it will do perhaps using think-pair-share or small groups. Discussion between students is good |
*R*un | Students test their predictions by running the program and verbalise the results and compare with predictions |
*I*nvestigate | Based on the-block-model students use code tracing, explaining, annotating, and debugging to explore the program |
*M*odify | Equivalent to the modify stage in use-modify-create |
*M*ake | Students are given a new problem to solve using similar ideas/skills |
