On a new blog post, titled the same as this one, explain what 'sequence' means in programming.

Here is the link to the program you will be using:

2.  Take a screenshot of your successful program showing the result and paste it to a Google doc.

Note that you have to spell colour in the American style with no 'u'!

5.  Now you do it!  Take a screenshot of your successful program and paste it underneath your previous one.

6.  Try and draw the Spanish flag - red, yellow then red horizontal stripes.

7.  Take a screenshot and paste it under all the others on your Google doc.

8.  You can challenge yourself and try and draw the French flag - blue, white, red stripes - but vertical!

9. Take a screenshot and paste it under all the others on your Google doc.

Share your Google doc to 'Anyone with the link' and copy/paste the link to your post.
