Scratch Programming for Grades 1 to 6.pptx
- 1. Right Click ICT & Robotics Curriculum K12 curriculum TECHDays 2022 Scratch for Grade 1 to 6
- 2. Objectives of the Workshop To explore the steps to follow in order to offer a comprehensive introduction on Scratch. Audience: ICT teachers for grades 1 to 6
- 3. Before We start… A General Overview on the entire Scratch Scope and Sequence. As you all know, Scratch is developed by MIT university and its main focus is to develop skills in algorithm and coding for kids.
- 4. Background Knowledge for teachers Teachers must know that Scratch exists in 3 versions!
- 5. Background Knowledge for teachers Scratch Junior Available on tablets and computers for lower grades (Grade 1 & 2).
- 6. Background Knowledge for teachers Scratch 3.0 Available on computers for grades 3 and up.
- 7. Background Knowledge for teachers Scratch 3.0 online Available on Browsers.
- 8. Background Knowledge for teachers At the beginning of this chapter, teachers are asked to communicate to the parents the 3 links to have access to Scratch. Those links are found on the Digital Platform www.zero1.education
- 9. Background Knowledge for teachers Scratch Junior is convenient to students in Grade 1 and 2. Scratch 3.0 is suitable for Grades 3 to 6.
- 10. Background Knowledge for teachers Teachers must always keep in mind that: It is possible to change the language of the interface.
- 11. Background Knowledge for teachers The main manipulation students can perform are: 1- Draw Shapes. This manipulation will develop skills in: 1- calculation. 2- geometry. 3- Design. 4- Algorithm. 5- Coding.
- 12. Background Knowledge for teachers The main manipulation students can perform are: 2- Create Stories. This manipulation will develop skills in: 1- Dialogue. 2- Communication. 3- Creating a Scenario. 4- Algorithm. 5- Coding.
- 13. Background Knowledge for teachers The main manipulation students can perform are: 3- Create Games.
- 14. Background Knowledge for teachers While manipulating Scratch, Students are asked to develop skills in coding by mastering: 1- Algorithm 2- Loops 3- Conditions 4- Variables 5- Routines 6- etc
- 15. Background Knowledge for teachers As final projects, Teachers can get inspired from the SDG of the UN in order to create stories or games related to one of the 17 topics. Ideas are in process to be delivered on the Digital Platform www.zero1.education
- 16. Background Knowledge for teachers As final projects As final projects when using Scratch to create stories, Teachers can get inspired from the different project topics delivered by code.org on the following address https://code.org/educate/csc
- 17. Background Knowledge for teachers As final projects when using Scratch to draw shapes, Teachers can collaborate with the Math teachers in order to be aligned with the skills in geometry.
- 18. Step 1 In case students don’t have previous knowledge in Scratch… Teachers are asked to show the different sections that form the welcome screen in Scratch and the relation that exists between them.
- 19. Step 1 Always start with the part that shows how to draw geometrical shapes. Beginner skills are needed.
- 20. Step 1 Show them how to draw a square without using the Pen tool. Once the project is executed, students will not notice that the Sprite did the movement since it was too fast and that the square was not drawn. Ask the students why this happened. As a conclusion, introduce them Wait and the Pen blocks.
- 21. Step 1 Once the Square is drawn. Students will be facing a major problem in case they want to draw a second shape. How to delete the first figure? Mainly they are obliged to quit Scratch then launch it again.
- 22. Step 1 The Eraser… The ultimate solution. It is the time to explain the role of the eraser and how to build it since it will help to clear the screen without being obliged to quit Scratch. Examine the 4 blocks that forms the Eraser.
- 23. Step 2… projects to do done Once the introduction is done, students are asked to do the following Shapes: A Square
- 24. Step 2… projects to do done Once the introduction is done, students are asked to do the following Shapes: A Rectangle
- 25. Step 2… projects to do done Once the introduction is done, students are asked to do the following Shapes: Stairs
- 26. Step 2… projects to do done Introduce the two blocks PenUp and PenDown in order to draw advanced shapes PenUp - PenDown
- 27. Step 3… Add the 4 blocks to control the color and the width of the Pen. Control the Pen Width and Color
- 28. Step 3… At this Stage, no need to explain for students how to change the Background and the Sprite Keep them focus on the Skills of Geometry and the ability to draw advanced shapes.
- 29. Step 4… For Higher grades starting Grade 4 The Repeat Block should be introduced
- 30. Step 5… For Higher grades starting Grade 5 and 6 The embedded Repeat Block should be introduced
- 31. Step 6… Creating Stories The main target of this part in Scratch is to make the students develop skills STEAM by linking the project with other Disciplines Choose a Sprite
- 32. Step 6… Creating Stories The main target of this part in Scratch is to make the students develop skills STEAM by linking the project with other Disciplines Draw a Sprite
- 33. Step 6… Creating Stories The main target of this part in Scratch is to make the students develop skills STEAM by linking the project with other Disciplines Choose a Background
- 34. Ideas for projects in Scratch The SDG’s sustainable goals from the UNDP
