Short focussed Tasks 3 (Pendown/PenUp)
Ask the children to draw a specific shape, such as the first letter of their name on graph paper. Build the instructions for the on screen turtle. The Penup/Pendown commands are crucial in this and further exercises. Annotate and print the sample program. Some children may wish to extend the command range by using a different pen colour, pen thickness and background colour
Tip Rather than enter the code into the command dialogue window, the program code can be entered directly onto the Softease/Logo screen. To activate, highlight and choose the Run procedure button (beneath the File Menu).
