Overview
This week we will further explore iteration, learning to use Python's while loop.
Thursday, October 27th
We'll start with some feedback from your Chapter 8 notes, including how to use triple backticks (```) for code blocks in Markdown that preserve formatting, and how to add images in Markdown.
We'll then have class time to work in groups producing doctest quiz items from the Chapter 7 Exercises.
Shout Outs
Exemplary chapter 8 notes were developed by Gabriel, Noah, Emory (with excellent use of Markdown!), Blu, Mayah, Lary, Conrad, Kiersten and Grant.
Classwork
I will model creating doctest quiz items from the Chapter 7 exercises, and then you will work at your table to create your own.
Next week you will have a quiz in class with doctest questions based on the Chapter 9 exercises.
Homework
Complete Chapter 8 Exercises, paying attention for exercises that would make good doctest quiz items for the quiz you will have on Monday.
This assignment is due Saturday, October 29 at 11:59 am.

Classwork
We will use class time today to complete and then share solutions to the Chapter 7 Exercises assigned for homework last week.
I will present answers to several of the questions I want to highlight, and then we will discuss any other questions you would like to see.
After today, questions similar to these will be considered fair game for quizzes, so be sure you understand them.
