Feedback lesson and revision

Today's work
I have marked your Blogs and written feedback comments on your last post.  

Many of you had not published blog posts, some of you had not shared work correctly from Private to Anyone with the Link.  If you are one of those students, you need to sort this out so I can give you a mark for the unit later on.

If I was able to mark your work, I have given you a mark and told you how to improve your work.  You now need to do as I have suggested to improve your work and comment back to me (click in the comment box under my comment) to tell me you've done it.

When you've done the improvements to your blog posts, you need to revise all the work we've done this unit for a test next lesson (7x1 Fri 12th Dec, 7y1 Tues 16th Dec)!
To revise, you need to go through all your work and the teacher's presentations for all the lessons in Problem Solving.
You will be expected to be able to explain what the different ways to problem solve are (group work, individual and divide & conquer), how to draw a flow chart and a definition of subroutines, when they're used and why they're useful.

Problem solving lesson - group work

Problem solving group work lesson

When you have solved the three problems you've been given, and they've been checked by me, you need to write the following work on today's Blog post..

1.  Describe, in detail, each problem you had to solve.
2. What was your answer to the Suspicious Death and how was it done?  What clues drew you to this conclusion?
3.  Describe how your group worked: was there one person taking charge, did you all play your part and contribute ideas, was it quicker to work in a group or do you think you'd have solved them faster on your own?
