Making a Project

It's a little project the children have prepared. They were asked to write a set of instructions and save it as a text file. We're going to take each file and put it into Sorted! Text as challenge for the whole class.

Open the Sorted! Text Editor (either from Start > All Programs > Resource > Sorted! Text or by pressing CONTROL + F2 while Sorted! Text is running).

Right-click in the Projects folder pane and choose New folder and give it the the title Class 4.

Right-click the new Class 4 folder, choose New project and call the file Instructions.txt. This is the name of the file on the computer, not the name that appears on the title screen menu.

We'll call the Project How to do things.

Everything will be in English so we don't need to change the language, but we want the Tasks to be presented in a random order.

Copy and paste in the first task between the asterisks.

Close the Editor and save the file ready for a test - the other Tasks can be added later.

Starting Sorted! Text shows our new folder and opening that reveals the Project.

Click to select and get the children to set up their own challenge.

Here it's Show Right Places, Show Good Friends and Race the clock.

They can then check the quality of the instructions: Are there any ambiguities? Has anything been missed out? Are there too many instructions?
