Lesson Overview
Lesson Overview
Students will continue the creation of a Storytelling project in Scratch that will show their understanding of synchronization.
In this second lesson of a three lesson sequence, students will continue building their project using Scratch, then pause to provide feedback in small groups on each other's Storytelling projects, using that feedback to revise and finalize their work.

💫 Review: Using synchronization to create a Storytelling project in Scratch (5 min.)
💥 Mini-Lesson: Synchronization in Scratch: switching between 2 sprites to synchronize "say" and "wait" blocks (5 min.)
🚧 Build: Storytelling project in Scratch in pairs (30-45 min.)
📬 Peer Feedback: Providing positive and constructive feedback on 2 peer projects (15 min.)
📓 Reflect: (5 min.)
What did you get stuck on while working on your project? How did you persevere?
What did you learn from your classmates' projects feedback?
What did you discover from looking at other projects?
