Gather Scratch Resources and Pick a Theme

You will need to put together an 9-12 week lesson plan for your kids with your team.  You should look at the calendar to count the number of weeks for your club:

You'll see that our usual pattern is:

2-3 weeks: Art (cover pen tools, stamps, sequential code, multiple scripts, forever loops, x-y coordinates)

2-3 weeks: Interactive Stories (cover if statements, multiple sprites, broadcasts)

2-3 weeks: Games (cover variables and more complex loops)

2-3 weeks: Work on Own Project

To keep you coordinated with other CS 402 students and help you share material, we recommend following the lesson plan outlined in the document in this directory:

2. Spring 2017: Under the Sea
   Start with the Overview Document called 12 Week Lesson Plan for Under the Sea

 Other lesson plans we've used in the past, along with weekly Challenge Sheets, are available here:

Other suggestion: Find last lesson (memory games, tracing games, clicking games) of a club plan they did not do in the past

Another option for material:

Researchers at Harvard created a very extensive and detailed multi-week curriculum guide of possible Scratch activities.  

You are not required to use any of their lesson plans, but looking at their materials may give you some ideas or may reassure you that the curriculum you are following in your club is very reasonable!

To complete this assignment, just look through the above material and state a possible theme across weeks that could unify your Scratch projects (e.g., Under the Sea, Around the World, Out in Space).  You can reuse an old theme or make your own...
