Programming Essentials in Scratch

You will utilise the following skills from previous units and year groups:

1. Use of the Google suite of tools to research and present information about online habits of your class

2. Digital creativity skills from year 5 to 7

3. Coding skills from year 5 to 7

You will learn the following skills:

1. What HTML is and what it stands for

2. How to manipulate HTML

3. Challenged to write your own HTML to produce a mini webpage.

Where this could take you:

Careers in web design

You will build on your understanding of the control structures, sequence selection, and iteration (the big three - you may not know what these are, but you will have used them in Scratch!) - you'll also develop your problem-solving skills. In this unit you will learn how to create your own subroutines, develop your understanding of decomposition, learn how to create and use lists and build upon your problem-solving skills by working through a larger project at the end of the unit. 

Your starting point is not as important as where you progress to during this unit! If you start on a particular task and it is too hard, go back...equally if you start on something and you are finding it too easy (or you have done it before) then move forwards! Remember that at the end of this unit there will be a quiz and a submission of work required!

Emerging - With the help of a pre made set of code, I can create a chatbot which will ask a question.

Developing A - With the help of pre made code I can create a chatbot that will give a response to one question.

Developing B - With the help of pre made code I can create a chatbot that will give responses to 2 questions

Mastery - I can code a chatbot that asks multiple questions with answers depending on input (if, then or if then else Boolean logic). I can improve my work and de-bug.

Greater Depth - I can code a chatbot that asks multiple questions with answers depending on input (if, then or if then else Boolean logic). Responses will alter not just responses, but graphics and backdrops. My code is in distinct strands, using blocks I have created. I can improve my work and de-bug.
