Lesson Plan Grade 7-9 Coding & Robotics, T1 - WK3

This Week 3 Lesson Plan introduces learners to Scratch. The lesson focuses on exploring the Scratch interface, including key components like the Blocks Palette, Code Area, and Stage. Learners will engage in hands-on activities to experiment with motion blocks, customize sprites using costumes, and manage sprites by adding or deleting them.

The lesson includes:

• Structured guidance for teachers, including preparation steps, step-by-step instructions, and teaching methodologies like problem-based learning and cooperative learning.
• Activity Sheets for learners, incorporating reflection tasks (KWLS chart) and coding challenges to reinforce concepts.
• Practical coding tasks that foster creativity and problem-solving skills.

By the end of the lesson, learners will develop foundational coding competencies, including computational thinking, reading and executing commands, and debugging simple programs.

Resources Included:

• Scratch setup instructions (online and offline).
• Visual guides for Scratch components.
• Printable Activity Sheets for learners.

Ideal for educators and learners new to Scratch, this lesson builds confidence in foundational coding concepts while fostering collaboration and critical thinking.
