songwriting - unplugged activity

  • 0:01 - 0:07
    the
  • 0:07 - 0:10
    you know how when you look up the lyrics
    for a song and they define the course at
  • 0:10 - 0:11
    the very beginning
  • 0:11 - 0:15
    and for the rest of the family just
    refer you back to the chorus
  • 0:15 - 0:19
    that's how you call a function so and
    that but then
  • 0:19 - 0:22
    we define the courts that being ever saw
  • 0:22 - 0:26
    and then we think our song and go back
  • 0:26 - 0:29
    and we noticed that the class doesn't
    saying the word chorus
  • 0:29 - 0:33
    that automatically go up to the top or
    redefine the chorus
  • 0:33 - 0:37
    and think through that we use that as a
    great introduction
  • 0:37 - 0:41
    to how to understand what program is
    doing when it define
  • 0:41 - 0:47
    handcuffed function we have familiar
    songs including Old MacDonald
  • 0:47 - 0:51
    to talk about how course is called over
    and over and have sometimes
  • 0:51 - 0:55
    a course can change when you have a fun
    like old McDonald where certain words
  • 0:55 - 0:59
    change that's a great place to introduce
    the idea of parameters
  • 0:59 - 1:02
    passing certain words through so that
    you can send
  • 1:02 - 1:07
    extra information to your function what
    pressure everybody get that
  • 1:07 - 1:10
    you can take your on familiar songs and
    break them up yourself
  • 1:10 - 1:17
    see if you can figure it out together
