All concepts from the AP® Computer Science A CED are taught in this resource. The guided notes are “fill-in-the-blank” style notes, where students fill in blanks with information, while also practicing handwritten code, drawing out important concepts, and making connections between all concepts.
This .zip folder contains:
- The Microsoft Word version of the guided notes
- The PDF version of the guided notes
- The PDF of the annotated answer key for the guided notes
- PowerPoint Slides for teachers
- Videos of me teaching the lessons (Free on YouTube!)
