    Introducing Scratch: Activity Description Resources

    Uploaded by

    Gabriela Robelo
    This document provides an introduction to the Scratch programming environment. It outlines an activity where students will be introduced to computational creation using Scratch by watching an overview video or exploring sample projects. The activity suggests asking students about their experiences with computers and introducing Scratch by showing the overview video and sample projects. Students will then be asked to imagine what types of projects they want to create with Scratch over the next several sessions. The document provides reflection prompts, resources, notes, and areas to review student work.

    UNIT 0 ACTIVITY

    INTRODUCING OBJECTIVES
    By completing this activity, students will:

    SCRATCH + be introduced to computational creation with the


    Scratch programming environment by watching
    the Scratch overview video or exploring sample
    SUGGESTED TIME projects
    5–15 MINUTES + be able to imagine possibilities for their own
    Scratch-based computational creation

    ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION RESOURCES

    ❑ Ask students about their experiences with computers ❑ projector for showing Scratch overview video
    using the reflection prompts to the right. (optional)
    ❑ Scratch overview video
    ❑ Introduce students to creative computing with Scratch
    http://vimeo.com/65583694
    and the range of projects they will be able to create by
    http://youtu.be/-SjuiawRMU4
    showing the Scratch overview video and some sample
    ❑ sample projects studio
    projects that your students will find engaging and
    http://scratch.mit.edu/studios/137903
    inspiring. Explain that over the next several sessions
    they will be creating their own interactive
    computational media with Scratch. REFLECTION PROMPTS
    ❑ What will you create? Ask students to imagine what
    types of projects they want to create with Scratch. + What are the different ways you interact with
    computers?
    + How many of those ways involve being creative with
    computers?

    REVIEWING STUDENT WORK

    + Did students brainstorm a diverse range of project


    ideas? If not, try showing a wide variety of projects
    to give students a sense of the possibilities.
