Coding Introductory Lesson Upper Elementary
- 1. Think About It You Do How do video games work? What do you already know about coding and programming? Challenge: Give examples.
- 2. Today’s Plan • Review what we already know about how things work and computers • Learn about coding and programming • WRITE CODE!!! With some cool activities and familiar characters
- 3. Review What have we learned? Internet navigate url shortcut address bar
- 4. Explain and Model Activities Guided Practice • Open Google Chrome • Click in the address bar • Type code.org • Click enter to go to coding website WITHOUT any shortcuts 1 3 2
- 5. Guided Practice Time 1 32 We Do code.org
- 6. Reflect: How do you feel about this topic?
- 7. Reflection Remember: Click on your response and click Vote.
- 9. Hour of Code Stop at 3:11 fwd to 4:20
- 10. a set of symbols and rules used to represent directions or instructions to a computer

- 13. Each language is different
- 14. Blockly • Visual • Easy, drag and drop • Code is under the hood of each block
- 15. Expectations • Work in pairs quietly • Divide task fairly and evenly (Ex: one arrange blocks of code, one press run code and debug if needed) • Reset and try again! (= “debug”)
- 16. Let’s get started! Start with Angry Birds to learn basics See how block language works Click on green “Show code”
- 17. Are we STRIVING for the goal? • Class Status for STRIVE • Time Check We Do
- 18. Partner Teach Share the best thing you learned today about how to write code
- 20. Hour of Code Activity Choices Start with Angry birds to learn basics THEN CHOOSE
