Simon Haughton's website: LOGO Programming. I'm going to admit that the fourth lesson I do on LOGO is complicated - the understanding of the programming commands that is required is of a high level and any mistake made (even the tiniest one) will result in either commands not being executed properly or error messages popping up on screen.
It is, however, a lesson which the children rose to the challenge of today and which they were extremely impressed with when they saw what on-screen patterns they had managed to produce by its end. The age-old saying "you only get out what you put in" was certainly true today! Last time, I showed the children how to use the REPEAT command to draw regular polygons and stars so the natural progression was therefore to teach them how to create procedures this time. I explained a procedure as simply being a set of commands which are given a name, which when typed are run (done/executed).
The next procedure I asked the children to create was one which drew a square shape.
