    C. Lesson Tips (Optional)

    Add tips for the educator that don't fit into Direct Instruction or Student Practice. You can always return to this page to add more.

    • Observe student conversation as they explore the bit. Notice language, problem solving and communication skills.
    • Do not provide explicit instructions on the use of the bot. Allow students' interest to spark learning.
    • Have students share and reflect on their learning and understanding from their experimentation.

    3. Direct Instruction (Teacher-Facing Instructions)

    These are the steps the educator will read. Include any front loading, modeling or explicit instruction before students work independently or in groups.

    Instruction

    Trigger prior knowledge

    What do you think of when I say coding?

    Create a mind map/brainstorm for students prior knowledge for display. Add student names to shared information, as assessment for learning.

    Instruction

    Inspire students as to what coding can achieve and it's many uses by watching the following YouTube video. It also gives students a glimpse into their potential futures! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59d3UZTUFQ0.

    Allow students to suggest items they use in their life that is run by coding e.g. washing machines, air-conditioning, fridges, Xbox, internet etc.

    Instruction

    Ask students if they know what we need to code? Accept responses with the intention of leading to hardware and software.

    Relate - Hardware is like our body and software is like our brain. Elaborate.

    Watch the catchy song to reinforce the basic idea of computers and their two main parts - hardware (things you can touch) and software (runs the computer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRHhmr-jIhU.

    4. Student Practice (Student-Facing Instructions)
