Model how to analyze code by walking through each statement to help students engage with their code and better understand their programs.

By explaining what each statements means, you’ll help students avoid glossing over pieces of code.
Line-by-line tracing of code can also help students see for themselves where the bugs in their code might be.
After you finish demonstrating tracing, you can have a student volunteer trace through similar code on the board or have students work in groups to trace code on a handout.
