Day 02 Python Class Script (Fruit Shop Conversation)

Warm-up & Fruit Shop Role-Play

Teacher Script: “Before we write code, let’s imagine we are in a fruit shop. One student will be the seller, another will be the buyer.”

Role-Play Example:

• Seller: “Hello! Today we have fresh apples.”
• Buyer: “Great! What is the color of the apple?”
• Seller: “They are red.”
• Buyer: “How much do they cost per kg?”
• Seller: “₹120.5 per kg.”
• Buyer: “I’ll take 6 kg. Are these apples healthy?”
• Seller: “Yes! Very healthy.”

Teacher Connect: “Did you notice the key details in this conversation? In Python, we can store all this information in variables, just like the shopkeeper keeps a record.”

Introducing Variables with Apple Brochure

Code Example:

fruit_name = "apple"

fruit_color = "red"

quantity_kg = 6

price_rupees = 120.5

healthy = True

Ask Students:

• “What value is stored in `fruit_name`?”
• “Which variable represents the quantity?”

Variables & Data Types

Teacher Script: “These variables belong to different data types. Let’s see.”

Prompt: “Which type is best for the word *red*? What about the price?”

Checking Data Types

Code Example:

print(type(fruit_name))

print(type(fruit_color))

print(type(quantity_kg))

print(type(price_rupees))

print(type(healthy))

Interactive Question: “Predict first — what do you think `price_rupees` will show? `int` or `float`?”

f-Strings for Output Formatting

Code Example:

print(f"Fruit name is {fruit_name}")

print(f"Fruit color is {fruit_color}")

print(f"Quantity in kg is {quantity_kg}")

print(f"Price in rupees is {price_rupees}")

print(f"Is it healthy? {healthy}")

Teacher Prompt: “See how clean this looks! If I remove the `f`, what do you think will happen?”

Activity 1: Create Apple Brochure in Python 🍎

Students recreate the **apple brochure** in Python. Ask them to change:

• fruit_color → `"green"`
• quantity_kg → `10`
• healthy → `False`

Activity 2: Data Type Explorer 🔍

Code Example:

x = "120.5"

y = 120.5

Ask Students: “Why is `"120.5"` a string but `120.5` is a float?”

Activity 3: Print Brochure with f-Strings 📝

Code Example:

print(f"{fruit_name.upper()} BROCHURE")

print(f"Color: {fruit_color}")

print(f"Quantity: {quantity_kg} kg")

print(f"Price: ₹{price_rupees}")

print(f"Healthy Choice: {healthy}")

Extension Prompt: “Try making the brochure for another fruit, like mango or orange.”

Review & Reflection

Teacher Script: “Let’s review today’s key ideas. Who can tell me…”

1. “What is a variable?”
2. “What are the 4 data types we used?”
3. “What does `type()` do?”
4. “How do f-strings help us?”

Homework & Practice

Teacher Script: “Tomorrow (Day 03), we’ll move from storing values to comparing values using operators, and make decisions with `if-else`. For example: *Can you afford to buy the apple with your budget?*”
