Language & Story Telling
in Code.org
Embedded Files
Open coding environments provide many opportunities for students to engage in storytelling and develop reading and writing skills. Coding required close attention to the blocks chosen and their order. Students immediately see the consequences if the blocks are out of order.
Creating Stories from Code.org Activities
Many of the scaffolded challenges in Code.org are based on favourite movies and games such as Angry Bird and BB-8. These lessons introduce fundamental coding concepts to new users with optional supports, such as reading the instructions aloud and hints. Teachers can track student progress in the dashboard. See the Code.org page for resources on getting started and videos for various tools.
Coding Concepts: Sequential events. Repeating & nesting possible.
Creating Stories in the Play Lab
Once students have finished the Code.org lessons, they can create their own stories in the Pre-reader Play Lab
These projects can be shared and remixed like Scratch projects.
