Objectives⌗
- Review all turtle methods learned
- Choose one project to complete independently
- Use creativity + multiple turtle concepts
- Submit your final drawing in Google Classroom
Your Task for Today⌗
You will not learn new commands today.
Instead, choose ONE of the following projects and draw it using the turtle methods you already know.
Option 1 — American Flag⌗

You may use:
p.forward,p.pensize,p.begin_fill,p.end_fill,p.shape,p.stamp,p.goto, etc.
Option 2 — House Drawing⌗

You may use:
p.begin_fill,p.end_fill,p.circle,p.goto,p.fillcolor,p.pencolor, etc.
Option 3 — Solar System⌗

You may use:
p.dot,p.circle,p.goto,p.speed,wn.bgcolor, etc.
Option 4 — Something Else⌗
You may create your own idea, but only if:
- it uses multiple turtle methods
- it is appropriate
- you get instructor approval
Boilerplate Code⌗
Create a new Python file in VS Code named:
turtle_class8.py
import turtle as trtl
p = trtl.Turtle()
p.speed(0)
# --- ENTER YOUR CODE HERE ---
# (Choose one project and draw it using turtle methods)
# --------------------------------------------------------------
# (Stop writing code above this line)
wn = trtl.Screen()
wn.mainloop()
