GRADE 3 Unit 1: CS + Fables
I can use computer science to tell a story!
Project Description: A PBL unit situating 3rd grade Computer Science Standards in cultural storytelling. Students will write and animate their own fable with a moral that promotes a positive change in society, using Scratch.
This project was designed in partnership with UCSD Create. The lessons and resources for CS + Fables can be found on the websites linked below. Please note the structure and flow of this unit differs from the other STEAM units.
CA COMPUTER SCIENCE STANDARDS
3-5.AP.10 Compare and refine multiple algorithms for the same task and determine which is the most appropriate.
3-5.AP.12 Create programs that include events, loops, and conditionals.
3-5.AP.14 Create programs by incorporating smaller portions of existing programs, to develop something new or add more advanced features.
3-5.AP.15 Use an iterative process to plan and develop a program by considering the perspectives and preferences of others.
3-5.AP.17 Test and debug a program or algorithm to ensure it accomplishes the intended task.
3-5.AP.18 Perform different roles when collaborating with peers during the design, implementation, and review stages of program development.
