Scratch - Classroom Lesson Plan 1

This lesson teaches students how to create algorithms to animate spelling words in Scratch. Students will be given focus word cards and use multiple sprites in Scratch to add movement to each letter as the word is spelled. The lesson links to Australian curriculum outcomes in English, digital technologies, and media arts. Students will first review spelling words with the teacher then work independently on their Scratch projects before sharing and providing feedback on each other's work.

Lesson: Building and Spelling

Learning Intention: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to produce algorithms that create a movement
animation for their selected spelling words.

Sequence:

Introduction

Students will sit on the floor with the teacher. The teacher will then work through the focus word cards for the class
and ask them to read out each word back to her as she works through them. Once complete, students will be
asked to return to their desks and open scratch.

Development

The teacher will provide each student with a focus word card. The student will then be required to create their
focus word on scratch, using multiple sprites. The students will also be required to add movement to each letter as
the word is spelt, using the block code builder.

Conclusion

Once each student has completed the task, they are encouraged to share it with the other members of the class.

Once complete, the teacher will ask them to think about what they saw and what others did. As an exit slip, each
student needs to let the teacher know the following:
1. One difficulty they had
2. One other project they liked (not their own)
3. What they would like to do next time.
