Hi Brian,
If you want to start a little bit more simply, how about a program that
draws alternating black and white squares. For the students who "get it"
right away, challenge them to expand the program into one that draws an
entire 8x8 checkerboard.
HTH,

Hello Brian,
I think the most natural use of the if statement (using turtle
graphics) occurs in recursive functions drawing trees,
fractals and the like. This is well known from Logo, where
recursion is the canonical way of doing repetitions. (But
note, that Logo has tail recursion optimizaton!)

Hello,
I was just playing with the turtle module, and thought it was an
interesting way to augment the introduction to python (I teach
college students, who haven't had any programming). It's a great way
to introduce functions, for-loops, and general program structures.
