Programming Languages
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Sections 2.8 through 2.11 of Chapter 2: Hardware and Software in Computing Technology for All. Review all of the Participation and Challenge Activities found in Sections 2.8 through 2.11 of Chapter 2.

Students: Be sure to download and save a PDF version of your textbook for future reference. It will be used in later courses within your program, including the final, capstone course. Zybooks limits online access to your course textbooks for a 12-month period. (Zybook Download Instructions  download)

To complete this assignment, you will need to create a free account at the Scratch (Links to an external site.) website. In addition, it is recommended that you reference the Getting Started Guide from Scratch Help (Links to an external site.), and view the gallery of examples of projects from Scratchs Explore (Links to an external site.) webpage. It is also recommended that you review Alice (Links to an external site.) and Code Combat (Links to an external site.) for other examples of block programming languages.

You will be including revised content from this assignment as Post 1 of your Information Technology Blog Final Project. You may wish to review the instructions included for the Information Technology Blog in Week 5 prior to completing work on this assignment to see how it fits into your overall Final Project.

In this assignment, you will explore the logic of computational thinking with a simple drag-and-drop, block programming language called Scratch. Create a short program of your own with Scratch (Links to an external site.), adding motion, looks, sound, and control options, among others. Your program should include at least 30 blocks.

In your written reflection paper,

Describe your experience building a program using Scratch.
Identify the difficulties that you encountered in Scratch.
Explain how you overcame the difficulties.
Describe the insights that you gained about programming from this exercise.
Compare your experience programming in Scratch with the participation activities in Sections 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, and 2.11 of the textbook that explored machine language, assembly language, and high-level languages, such as Python.
Describe the differences between the programming languages.
Identify which language you found easiest to use.
Describe scenarios where each type of programming language would be most effective.
Explain which programming language you think is the most popular and why.
Copy and paste the Share URL of your Scratch project into your reflection paper.

The written reflection paper

Must be at least 300 words in length (not including title page) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the University of Arizona Global Campus Writing Center (Links to an external site.).

Create your own script of missing narration in Gatsby’s 30 min meeting with Daisy where Nick was not there

/in /by

Because Nick, our reliable (?) narrator, grants Jay and Daisy some privacy during their reunion, we dont know what goes on.
What happened?
What was said?
Did they make plans?
Did they kiss?
Students imagine that they are a narrator who is privy to the reunion of Jay and Daisy.
They compose the scene that occurs while Nick roams around in the backyard and admires Gatsbys mansion.
Students are required to include the following elements as listed on the assignment:
Dialogue — Remember, when a new speaker speaks, start a new paragraph.
Sensory Description — What can the reader or the characters see, hear, taste, smell, and feel?
Figurative Language — Include one of each: alliteration, simile, personification.
Symbolism — Of course, include two instances of color symbolism.
Plot — A secret! Create a secret revealed by one of the characters or an act committed during the rendezvous. Remain consistent with the characterization and the plot that Fitzgerald has established to this point.
A rubric with blank point values is included and is digital-enabled.
Appropriate graphics and clear font.

Any topic (writer’s choice)

/in /by

You will write a focused 3-4 page profile of a person, living or dead, that explores a significant aspect of that person’s background, influence, or expertise. Your profile may be of a friend or family member, but it must have universal appeal–meaning that the significance and relevance of the profile should be apparent to your audience.

You may not do any secondary research for this assignment and you must conduct at least 1 interview. There is no maximum number of interviews you may conduct for this assignment. Additional primary research may be conducted with my permission.

Medieval and Early Renaissance Art

/in /by

Part A-  Briefly define art history as an academic field based on your understanding. Next, discuss two of the natural and human threats to artworks that concern contemporary art historians. Provide specific examples of threats, the artworks involved, and how these threats affect the interpretation of the works by art historians.

Part B –  Explain the construction of megalithic architecture and dome building, tracing its history from pre-historic art to the Renaissance. Begin your discussion describing the architectural innovations of the tomb in Newgrange, Ireland and connect these innovations with subsequent examples of the tholos tombs in Greece, to the Pantheon in Rome and conclude with the Florence Cathedral. Your discussion should include a definition of terms you use as defined and demonstrate an understanding of the connections these buildings have in common.

Works of architecture to include in your Part B discussion:
:Tomb, Newgrange, Ireland. c. 3000-2500 BCE. Located on page 29 in the attachment.
:Interior of tholos tomb, Mycenae, Greece. c. 1300-1200 BCE. Located on page 100 in the attachment.
:Pantheon, Rome. 110-128 CE. Located on page 148 and 149 in the textbook.
:Filippo Brunelleschi, Dome of Florence Cathedral. 1420-1436 CE. Located on page 307 of the attachment
