Wednesday Workshop Meeting Prep & Notes - 3/13

[aidenhuynh]

Meeting Prep:

Requirements:

• Focus on one FRQ Type
  • We are going to try again with FRQ 1 (Methods & Control Structures)
  • You can read about the FRQ Types here
• Lessons should assist with FRQ
  • For example, iteration would be useful for FRQ 2 and 4
• ~3 teachers per period (videos are SUPPLEMENTAL)
• <10 minutes of lesson, <10 minutes of hacks

Suggestions:

• Merged hacks to save time, like a collegeboard FRQ and each team makes a different sub-question
  • i.e. a methods and control structures question with use of 2D arrays, questions for iteration and if/else
• Reschedule this week's workshop
  • Ideally to this Friday, with hacks due Monday/Tuesday

Planning:

1. Divide and conquer FRQs of the specified type, with detailed notes about the necessary things for these FRQs
2. From FRQ investigation, identify useful teaching topics related to the FRQs (This will be another meeting)
3. Verify teaching topics with Mortensen if possible
4. Each team returns to make their individual lessons (<10 minutes each!)
5. Return to meeting to create combined FRQ hacks, totaling to ~30-50 minutes

• Hacks are going to be built on this document
  • 5 part FRQ with each part representing one of the suptopics
  • 5 MCQs for smaller topics?
• Calendar

Notes :

1. Rather than create hacks, might make more sense to assign old cb test frqs
2. Make list of 5-6 main topics/unit that are emphasized in each frq .

Ex. FRQ 1 can be broken down into these topics: (credit to Adi and chatgpt)

• Primitive Types (Unit 1) - Though foundational, questions solely on primitive types are less common.
• Using Objects (Unit 2) - Understanding and using objects and classes could be relevant. Boolean Expressions and if Statements (Unit 3) - Fundamental control structures might be involved in setting up conditions within the question.
• Iteration (Unit 4) - Loop constructs are often essential in programming tasks.
• Writing Classes (Unit 5) - A core part of the exam, where defining and using custom classes could be tested.
• Array (Unit 6) and ArrayList (Unit 7) - While these are about data structures, basic manipulations or iterations over these structures could be part of the first FRQ, although they might be more central to later questions.

Using Objects

• object initialization
• using diffrent classes or objects like math class
