I want to know everything!

5 "B" loves computer science

Reporting from the past

These cheerful active people entered here, into the classroom No.307 a few minutes ago and immediately filled the entire acoustic space. But they make only half the class. Where are you from? From literature! This is what a powerful charge of native speech means!

5 "B" makes noise like Okhotny ryad. They took advantage of me. They are noisy, yet they work. As long as they work, let it be so.

They are curious even here, in another classroom where there are no computers. In such a format the lesson of course is a little unfruitful, but there is also a bright side: there is no need to be torn to pieces - no desperate exclamations are heard:

"Aleksandr Aleksandrovich, come to me!"

"COLOR does not work on my computer!"

"Come to me, I asked first!"

Blessed age! For them, everything is for the first time. They are still happy when they get "excellent". They are still able to burst into tears because of the unexpected (as it seems to them) and undeserved (what happens) "four". I'm not talking about "three". In such cases, you feel like a monster. And each "five" is a holiday. For the teacher, as well. Not to mention about the parents. Why didn't the artist Reshetnikov paint the picture "Again five"?

I draw coordinate axes on the board. The picture is familiar to them. They mastered the coordinate plane, as if they were born on it. However, there are some who actually mix up the axes, but there are also those who have already used a highly learned word "abscissa" in their lexicon - I mentioned it twice, no more, and then in passing and once wrote on the board.

"You already know what they teach in the sixth grade!"

"And what will we learn in the sixth grade?"

5 "B" writes a graphics program in BASIC. Someone does it quite consciously, someone else just writes off the board. They already know how to draw pictures. But to set the pictures in motion, one needs a cycle, and this is already more difficult. Not everyone can handle the cycle. A girl confessed:

"I do not understand anything at all!"

Neither the other one. But they continue to gnaw the granite of science ...

"No one loves computer science like I do", says a boy.

"Me, too, Aleksandr Aleksandrovich", says another one.

I shake his hand...

It is enough to ask who wants to become an animator and the answer is many-voiced:

"Me!"

They know the word "animation", but a "cartoon" is no longer known to them. It is out of use. I'm going to tell you how animators worked in the past and how they work today...

They do not beg for computer games, as they do in older classes, they do not ask anything. You won't hear them asking:

"And may I play when everything is done?"

"And why may they play in other schools?"

"And what's about a game lesson!"

Every speech starts with "and", sometimes with "well": "Well, can we play a little?"

The bell! I did not have time to give a "flying crow". It doesn't matter, I'll do it for another day. There is still time. It's only important to do well, as long as they are interested in it. While, 5 "B" loves computer science.
