Presenting and Reflecting

Across two periods you present your documented project or portfolio to classmates, share feedback on strengths and questions, note one improvement, and reflect on your growth in computational thinking and problem-solving across Strand 1 Introducing computer science, Strand 2 Let's get connected, and Strand 3 Coding at the next level.

    1 - Start ~3 mins

    Illustration for StartToday you show your CBA work, get feedback, fix one thing, and look back.

    This is the final CBA checkpoint, run across two periods. Your project or portfolio is ready to show.

    • Period 1: present and peer-test
    • Period 2: one improvement from the feedback, a short course-wide look back, and a clear reflection

    2 - What Each Strand Covered ~1 mins

    You will hear feedback from peers, act on one improvement, and reflect on how your learning and problem-solving grew across the three strands:

    • Strand 1 Introducing computer science
    • Strand 2 Let's get connected
    • Strand 3 Coding at the next level

    You are not finishing the whole CBA from scratch here. You are showing what you have built and thought through, then packaging the evidence.

    3 - How Presenting Works Today ~7 mins

    Each presentation is short and focused. Whether you chose the software project or the portfolio, you cover the same four points:

    1. What you made or collected, in plain language.
    2. Why it mattered, the problem, interest, or question behind it.
    3. One decision you changed along the way, and what prompted the change.
    4. How someone else can understand the work, pointing to your documentation, comments, or reflection notes.

    4 - What Listeners Give Back ~2 mins

    Listeners give two things only: one strength and one clear question. Write both on a feedback slip or sticky note so the presenter can keep them. If you are in a project team of two or three, share the speaking so everyone is heard.

    5 - Present Your CBA Work ~30 mins

    Present your documented project or portfolio to your small group. Run through the four points. Your teacher will set the timer for your group.
