LOGO BASICS
In this assignment you will learn how to use logo and then follow directions to create a simple shape using logo. You will also review some simple geometry concepts.
LOGO BASICS: Logo is a program available from the start menu. Just pull up to programs from the start button and slide over to LOGO. Once logo is open you can type in some simple commands. Try typing the following commands (hit enter at the end of each command).
fd 50
rt 90
fd 50
rt 90
fd 50
rt 90
fd 50
This will create a box.


There are a lot of commands you can use in LOGO, but there are seven commands you will need to use right away. The commands are fd, lt, rt, cs, pd, pu, and seth. Look up how to use them using the LOGO Command Machine. Type the command in on one side and find out what it means on the other.

ASSIGNMENT: You will do two things to get credit for this assignment. First, you will write out the commands and what they do with primitive paper and pencil. You may use gEdit for this task if you wish, but you will have to figure out how to use gEdit on your own if you want to use it... The nice thing about gEdit is that you can COPY and PASTE. Second you will use the following commands to create a block letter E in logo. (Remember to hit enter after each line and space correctly.)
