     • Have students practice using the is in in an if statement. User this time to look over the student responses to the first part of the Do Now - identify the topics they are having problems with.
3. Review

Accommodation/Differentiation

There could also be a unit quiz after the game loop lesson or during the Zork project, and this lesson could be used to review for that quiz.
