LOGO TURTLE
You use a pencil to draw and write in your notebook, LOGO Turtle
uses a special pen for drawing. This pen looks like a triangle tail
which is called a turtle.
The top pointed end of the turtle is called its head. The wide base at the bottom
is called its tail. That’s why LOGO is also called the Turtle Language. When the
turtle moves on the screen, it leaves a trail behind it. This trail (line) makes a
drawing like a pen does. LOGO turtle lives in the centre of the screen which is
called its home.
