5 Unit 4: Software Programming and Development Page 5 STEP MIN. ACTIVITY should have seven cards one for each step in the typical process used for software development (envisioning, planning, designing, programming, testing and stabilizing, deploying, and maintaining), also known as the software development life cycle (SDLC). Also, To begin the activity: Create four to five groups of students and distribute a set of index cards to each group. Explain that each card represents one of the phases in the life of a software product. Tell students they have one minute to try and put the cards in their correct order. Tape assembled index cards to the wall or board with masking tape, or ask each group to read their results. Each group must give reasons for their choices, but do not tell them which are correct. After comparing student results, distribute Student Resources 12.2 and Assign the readings and tell the students the readings will be on the test on Unit 4 at the end of the next period. Ask students to complete Student Resource 12.5, Worksheet: System Development Life Cycle Models with the notes for each of the SDLC models for homework. CLASS PERIOD Reading Activity: Exploring the Software Development Process Continue the reading activity on the software development process using the reading from the last class period.

Next, organize students in pairs and to work together to list the do s and don ts of computer software development Research Project: Examining Jobs Related to Software Development Begin a project which students will complete near the end of the Principles of Information Technology course. To prepare for this project, make copies of Student Resource 12.6 Worksheet: Careers Related to Software Development for the entire class. To begin the project: Distribute Student Resource Suggest that this worksheet provides resource suggestions, samples of job titles, and a place to take notes. Ask students to research two or three of the career opportunities related to software development using the Internet and/or other additional sources. Research data should be added to the Career Matrix Project Table

6 Unit 4: Software Programming and Development Page 6 STEP MIN. ACTIVITY (Word document) they created in Unit 1. Tell students that this project will be formally assessed near the end of the course Conclusion: Unit Test Assess student knowledge. Distribute copies of Teacher Resource 12.2, Test: Unit 4. The test consists of three essay questions, one based on each lesson in the unit. Students are given the option to choose one of the questions for which to write an essay. For assessment, use Teacher Resource 12.3, Rubric: Essay for Unit 4 Test and the content from Unit 4 student readings. Enrichment Extensions Ask students to imagine that they ve been asked to organize a software development team. Which talents and skills that they think are important for people in software development positions such as project manager, systems analyst, software designer/engineer, programmer, technical writer, software tester, and marketing manager? (Some possible answers might be the ability to: utilize computer languages and applications, think logically, work well with others, cope with constant change, work under pressure, be sensitive to multiple perspectives, be thorough and precise, or think in abstract terms.) Ask students to suppose they are in charge of testing a beta version of a wordprocessing program or a software game. Create a checklist of at least ten items to look for when testing the program.
