Finished scatter plot implementation
I think it went well, and the goal was decomposed into understandable chunks. The programmer in me couldn't help but be annoyed with the redundancies in this implementation; we can avoid redoing the same calculation, which is how I designed my outline. I know that for most students this is probably something easily overlooked, but if I were to teach this lab, I would actually have students use their plan to implement the plot. You could guide them in the right direction by saying "break it down into at least n functions" and maybe even go over this outline as an example but still encourage students to write follow their own steps. Making a pie chart would also be a fun project for the turtle library. I think it would also be conceptually easier for younger students because you're working with categorical data; make a list the student's favorite ice-cream flavors and use that data to make a pie chart
