Learning Intentions
- Submit your 2D Python game — either your Alien Invasion from class with your comments/tuning, OR a different game you built at home.
- Write a 500-word evaluation.
- Brief showcase.

📍 Do Now — Error of the Day
Your Alien Invasion is finished. Open a blank document. Title it 'Evaluation — [Your Name] — Term 2'. Today you submit.
👁 I Do — Teacher Demo
Model evaluation writing live on the projector. Walk through all 5 evaluation questions. Show how to cite YOUR classes by name (Ship, Alien, Scoreboard). Contrast your-own-words vs generic AI-sounding prose.
🤝 We Do — Build Together
Write the opening paragraph together (100 words). Pause to discuss what reads as genuine reflection.
🚀 You Do — Your Turn
Finish the 500-word evaluation (or record a 2-min video). Zip your game folder. Test the zip in a fresh folder. Upload 3 files to Classroom: game.zip + journal.docx + evaluation. Your game can be the in-class Alien Invasion with your tuning + comments — that's enough for a pass.
- Final check: your game runs without crashes
- Write / finish the 500-word evaluation (or record a 2-min video)
- Compile journal entries into one .docx
