Research SkillsStrategiesIf more time is available, the class should create a rubric to score the relevance of eachlink rather than restricting a rating to “helpful” or “not helpful.” This activity would add alevel of abstraction to the lesson since a team would need to define the characteristics ofhelpfulness to begin their rubric.[Using pseudocode to simulate a computer algorithm] is a useful CT skill throughout thecurriculum. Some ideas for using pseudocode include:▪ How will you decide which college to go to?▪ Define the scientific process in pseudocode.▪ How will my project be assessed?CT Guide on the Side[Using a pseudocode to simulate a computer algorithm]By applying this process to another task, students areable to demonstrate that they have generalized andtransferred this problem-solving process to a widevariety of problems.Table of Contents41
