Scratch Jr. Project
CT Concept: Algorithms
Lesson Plan includes Equitable Access
Project Checklist: I'm Sooo Hungry Link
Includes CT Checklist
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create a short story about a hungry sprite. The purpose of this project is to apply previously learned concepts in a new context and to review how to trigger algorithms when a sprite is bumped.
Standards
1A-AP-10 Develop programs with sequences and simple loops, to express ideas or address a problem.
1A-AP-12 Develop plans that describe a program’s sequence of events, goals, and expected outcomes.
1A-AP-08 Model daily processes by creating and following algorithms (sets of step-by-step instructions) to complete tasks.
1A-AP-11 Decompose (break down) the steps needed to solve a problem into a precise sequence of instructions.
1A-AP-14 Debug (identify and fix) errors in an algorithm or program that includes sequences and simple loops.
1A-AP-15 Using correct terminology, describe steps taken and choices made during the iterative process of program development.

Scratch Jr. Project
CT Concept- Algorithms
Lesson Plan includes Equitable Access
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create their own interactive diorama about when they grow up. The purpose of this project is to reinforce the concept of parallelism to trigger two or more algorithms simultaneously.
