Two Year Computer Science Course Lesson Plans (Second Year)

The Two Year Computer Science course is designed for teaching the basics of Digital Literacy and Programming Concepts. The course is intended for children in classes 6th to 9th who do not have any prior exposure to computer science. The course spans concepts of Windows, Internet, File system, Spreadsheets and others in the Digital Literacy part and basic constructs of programming - loops and conditional statements in the later part. It is intended to be covered in one year. It assumes 32 weeks of instruction and 8 weeks of project work.
Lesson No Title Description
1 Recap Windows UI and Text Document To recall usage of open office text documents, mail, task manager, RAM etc... related to Windows UI.
2 Recap – Sp­read sheet To recall about spreadsheet and formula ( To find total, pass/fail, rank etc..).
3 Recap – Open office impress To recall about open office impressions and the features that are important to create a presentation.
4 Real life programming – 1 (Cup activity) To teach relative orientation and procedural operations.
5 Real life programming – 2 (Robo - programmer grid activity) To teach relative orientation and procedural operations.
6 Introduction to Scratch Students should learn the concept of programming, sprites and backdrops in scratch.
7 Backdrop and Sprites in scratch Students learn about Backdrop and Sprite controls.
