Students will investigate the computer science concept of repeat loops through the Use - Modify - Create framework by first being introduced to the concept through a variety of multimodal activities, then exploring it in Scratch before creating their own original Dance Party project in Scratch incorporating this concept. Students will also collaborate on computational artifacts, debug problematic programs, provide feedback on each other's work, and reflect on their own progress throughout the unit.
Students learn about "loop" in an unplugged lesson.
Students will explore a Scratch Project with a focus on loop.
Students will plan for their Dance Party Project.
Students build their Dance Party projects.
Students will share their project with peers and reflect on their computational thinking.
