Anyone notice that the activity guide doesn’t match the app? It doesn’t utilize the favorites screen anymore

Agree, they are missing. Can this be fixed?

Please report this to support@code.org. I will forward this on my end.

Thanks for surfacing this! I went in and updated the document so that the tasks match between the activity guide and the levels. There were several changes that were pushed out to all of the “Spice Level One” lessons (Emoji Movie Quiz, Birds of a Feather, and Ramen Radar) in order to simplify the experience for both students and teachers alike.

Cheers,
Erik

Thanks so much Erik for the quick response.

Appreciate the changes.

If you didn’t catch it also on Magic 9 Ball there are two “blue box” steps 6’s - one on bubble 4 and one on bubble 5. The bubble 5 blue step 6 should be a 7.

I am looking at this app and I don’t see the need for milestone 8 since in milestone 4 we hide the favorite button if the length of the favorites list gets to 3 elements. Can someone explain what I am missing? Thank you :blush:

Hello @cpetroro,

I believe it is necessary because of the “insert favorites” button they do on the milestone 7. To insert a favorite, they identify which number it should go in, and then add it in to the list at that location. They don’t override the previous thing - this means that the other items in the list get shifted. (which makes sense for favorites… if you have a new favorite bird, the previous one doesn’t leave the list, it is just now your second favorite.) when this happens, the list gets longer, and it becomes necessary to remove anything after the third item.
