    -If you do not have enough Ozobots for groups or your class, you can have the students work on the design and color page while you meet with small groups.

    -Some K and Pre-k students may have difficulty using the markers. Adult help will be required.

    -It is easy to model how to do the challenges and how to use markers under a projector.

    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

    To begin, gather students students so they are able to see the projection screen. Ask the question, what do you think an Ozobot is? You can choose to record student answers on chart paper or not. After discussion, show an actual Ozobot. Use Think, Pair, Share and ask the students to describe what they see.

    Instruction

    While students are sharing, pull up the Ozzie the Ozobot story. Explain to students that they are going to listen to a story about Ozzie, the Ozobot. As you are reading, they should be listening for all the special things Ozzie can do. At slide 10, record on chart paper all the special things Ozzie can do.

    Instruction

    Read Slide 11. Demonstrate how to use the markers to code the Ozobot. It is best to do this under a projector. Have the code sheet or coding cards handy to show the students how to find the codes. You may want to break the lesson into 2 days at this point. instead of going right to the challenges, you can give the students exploration time.

    Instruction

    For Pre-K -1 Classrooms, it is best to try the challenges in small groups with an adult leading the group. Grades 2-3 can start to try the challenges in partners or groups. If you choose to have your students in pairs or groups, read slide 12 or 13.

    Early finishers can do the next challenge or color the Ozobot page.

    You should allow 30 minutes for this part.

    Instruction

    Lastly, come back together as a whole group and share out experiences. As a closing, read slide 14.

    Ask the following questions: What did you learn about Ozobots? What was challenging? What was easy? If you were going to describe Ozobots to a friend, what would you say?

    You can also choose to have the students design their Ozobot page as closing. Students can make their Ozobot into a character like a ninja or princess. Brainstorm some ideas for characters. Students can draw glasses, mustaches, bows, and other accessories.

    Instruction

    Optional-- using the completed Ozobots, you can design an Ozobot village to display them, along with the chart paper responses. I also like to display the coding cards as well. This helps to get other teachers and students in your building excited about Ozobots.

    Instruction

    Extension--Have the students write their own story about their Ozobot that they designed. What coding adventure will their robot go on? What challenges will your Ozobot face? What codes will it need? How will the story end?

    4. Student Practice (Student-Facing Instructions)

    These are step-by-step instructions delivered directly to the students as they work independently or in groups

    5. Supplements

    A. Lesson Closure (Optional)
    Give tips for how to wrap up the lesson and assess student learning. (Want to add an attachment? Use Part C, below.)

    After students have completed at least one challenge, gather together for discussion. Ask, what did you learn about Ozobots? What was difficult? What was easy? What do you want to try next? If you had to explain Ozobots to a friend, what would you say? Older students can write the responses to these questions.

    You can also choose to have the students design their Ozobot as a wrap up activity.

    To assess student learning, as the students are coding, make notes of places where students struggled so you can address them the next time you use Ozobots.

    B. Academic Standards (At least one standard required)
    Choose a category from the dropdown on the left. In the blank on the right, begin typing the number of the standard.

      C. Add Other Attachments (Optional)
      Please upload any student handouts, videos, sample solutions, etc. (Max. size: 1 GB videos, 10 MB all other files)
