Assignment(s) =

(1)Discussion Board Activity Post. Respond in 3-4 well researched short paragraphs.

(a) There are three basic structures in programming - sequence, selection, and loops. Discuss the use of each structure. As part of your discussion, include an example of each. Your example may be drawn from as every-day activity as opposed to a programming solution.

(b). Discuss how the use of a Storyboard can be an essential tool in the Program Development Process.

Support your view with evidence, explanations and credible references.

(2)Week 2 Homework Assignment:

(a) Create a FLOWCHART and a STORYBOARD of the following

Using Problem #6 on page 85, plan the logic necessary to move the dragon to and then around the blimp. To satisify the dragon's curiosity, he needs to circle the blimp 3 times. You may use Microsoft Word® for your Storyboard and Microsoft PowerPoint® for your flowchart.

Pg 85 #6. Blimp and Dragon

Create a scene as shown below with a blimp (Vehicle) and a dragon (Medieval). In this

fantasy scene, the dragon has found a blimp and is curious. The dragon flies around the

blimp to check it out. Write a program to have the dragon move to the blimp and then

fly around it (lengthwise) three times.
