This pack contains three Word Sequencing programs (PROVERBS, NURSERY RHYMES and SENTENCE SENSE). All instructions are contained in the programs and are shown on the screen.
Each program presents a series of jumbled words which must be arranged to form either a proverb, nursery rhyme title or a sensible sentence. Words to be moved are first located and selected using the cursor right and cursor left keys. The words are then moved using the number 2 and 3 keys.
The "Teachers' Notes" give the user control over the length of time that a child works. Once the time is selected, up to 20 children can use the programs and their results will be stored for later recall.
Russel Wills began his career in computing in 1965 when he joined IBM as a lecturer. He then worked in Africa for five years as a systems analyst returning to the UK in 1972 to take up his present post as lecturer in computer education in Dundee.
Ann Wills is head teacher of a primary school. Russel and Ann Wills share a common interest in the development of software for the microcomputer, and the integration of this material into the school curriculum.
Once your students have become familiar with the phrases supplied on the Word Sequencing program, you may like to replace them with phrases of your own choice. The procedure for replacing existing phrases and then saving the amending program is given below.
The screen will display a page of word lists called data statements. Each data statement has a number at the beginning of it and contains the sentence which will then be jumbled up in the program.
Search for the data statement you wish to replace. If the required data statement is not on this page press SHIFT to move on to the next page.
This procedure can be repeated to replace all of the original sentences.
Note: We recommend that you can use your own filename so that the original program remains intact. In this case, your new version of the program cannot be loaded via the INDEX, but you should use the CHAIN or LOAD command, for example: CHAIN "filename" (RETURN).
The following utilities are also available to allow you to edit the supplied screens of this game:
