Ice breaker: Visual learning.
1. Quiz for 3 styles (Visual, auditory, tactile) if interested:

2. Draw a picture that represents your most memorable club day -- either good or bad
3. Share with others. Pick a few to share with the class.
Try the Stroop effect experiment; you can role play it as if you were doing this in your club or just experiment with this on your own.
1. http://www.psytoolkit.org/lessons/stroop.html
This takes a few minutes to complete; the site has you identify more words/colors than you might like...
Last homework (other than final portfolio): Create a certificate to give to each of your students during your last club meeting
Last lecture day: 5-minute End-Of-Semester Presentations
1. Don't prepare for this outside of lecture - will have time next week
2. In your 5 minutes (use the full 5 minutes), answer an interesting subset of these questions (probably question #1 + 3 other questions). All 3 people must talk. To make this interesting, give specifics or examples. Figure out how much you can say in 5 minutes. Don't know which day you will present, but today is main prep time -- so take notes on your what you want to say so you can remember in 1 or 2 weeks!
  1. Required:
    Your site, on-line or in-person, number of students, day of week, how many meetings
  2. Most interesting (or unusual) thing about your site or club?
  3. What challenges did you overcome over the semester?
    What challenges still remain that you weren't able to completely handle?
  4. In what ways did the kids grow or change over the semester? How well did they like and learn Scratch?
  5. How did each of you change over the semester? How did your ability to work as a team change over the semester?
  6. What was the most surprising or important aspect about the overall experience for you?
