Handling Files with Python GCSE

• Contains an error Do not buy - I will be updating it soon

2 Lesson Power Point slides including task and solutions in Python.

Lesson 1 covers why file handling is required and some basic functions to use in Python. Tasks cover how to write/append to a text file. This also requires them to use their knowledge or selection and string manipulation. The lesson also makes prior links to computer memory and RAM, variables and data types.

Lesson 2 recaps the tasks from Lesson 1 and then introduces to writing to a file. There are a 6 tasks with this lesson and the slides cover the skills needed to complete them. They cover reading from the file and printing into Python but also checking through a file contents for an item.

All lessons come with .py files so you can use them as an example if you wish.

Used with year 10 to apply the theory of paper 2. Also great as a prep task before they start a project task.
