Wow, you got a strong point there!

So... any ideas as to what the second lesson should be?

The first lesson would be about turtle graphics. I'll let her paint a few
things and then get her to paint scenes in a modular way, using functions
and loops.

Should the second lesson be about a language feature? Should it be
implementing something and learning ob the way whatever is needed? If so,
what should I implement? Perhaps some other beautiful graphic thing? Perhaps
something completely different, like a game or text processing or sound or
homework-solving?

Perhaps to ask her (I'm just not sure she knows enough to answer)?

Aur Saraf

Thanks very much for all the comments upto now
