Computer Science Lesson Plan
Class: 7 - Lesson: 7 Own Story in Scratch

Purpose: To learn to use the programming blocks (motion, looks, basic events, variables, operators and control), to develop creativity in code, and to use simple sequences and loops to create interactive stories.

No. of Classes

One class (teacher's decision).

Material Required

    Prior Knowledge

    Students should know:

  • Sprites, backdrops, costumes, variables, operators, conditional statements, loops, events, controls and sensing in Scratch.

    • Exercises

    Exercise 1


    1. Create a story in Scratch using your own ideas. Try to use all the controls in the code block palette.

    Solutions


  • Link to copy the solution program - The Great Elephant.
  • Link to copy the solution program - Elephant and Ant.
  • Link to copy the solution program - Lion and Donkey.

    • Teacher Instructions
    1. Teachers should recall variables, operators, broadcasts, etc.
    2. Encourage students to write the algorithm (documentation) of the story first.
    3. Teachers should give one exercise to each group.
