Surprise Story Lesson

Storyboard template

Before introducing this to students I suggest exploring some non-digital programming, like the human robot, or graph paper coding.

Have students create accounts (teacher needs to save the password). Use teacher email for guardian, so that passwords can be reset by the teacher if needed.

Have students complete some of the tutorials form: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/editor/?tutorial=all

• Try the having them complete the: Surprise Story Lesson
