@tvooo We'll be covering Objects and Arrays/Loops in both lesson 1 (which you're building) and 2 (I'm building), so I've been thinking how to best split the topics into two lessons. Here's what I had in mind:

Objects

• First lesson: introduce objects, explain properties, keys, how to assign/access values
• Second lesson: the new keyword, creating objects with constructor functions, primitive types vs reference types

Arrays, Loops

• First lesson: introduce arrays, how they're different from objects, how their indexes are the keys, and talk about the different types of loops, difference between do...while and while, for loop etc.
• Second lesson: do different exercises that can be solved using loops, as students need to wrap their heads around them and how they can be used to solve more complex problems (find biggest number in an array, then find biggest number out of a series of objects that have a number array property etc.) Maybe as the hard homework they can write an implementation of bubble sort.

What do you think? Would this be a good split of introduce in first lesson, dig deeper in second? Is it too much material?
