Students use pair programming to trace, annotate and debug a prewritten Twine story. Students then add modifications to the existing code and extend the story.

In this lesson, students engage in a historical jigsaw activity focused on westward expansion. The lesson ends with a coding project where students create “postcards” by coding with Twine, expressing the perspectives of different groups experiencing the effects of westward expansion.

Students will craft a Twine program with variables, conditionals, and relational expressions for a historical narrative on Westward Expansion. Students choose a project from a choice board & test products regularly during construction. Programs should offer multiple outcomes based on the user's choices or actions."

In this activity, students will learn to identify the 7 continents by name and location through song activity blending active learning.  Students will learn facts pertaining to each continent and practice syllable breaking strategies.

In this lesson, students will create a ‘Museum of Westward Expansion Inventions’ using the platform twinery.org. This tour will include multiple types of links that will be written in code two different ways and citations to photos to prove the veracity of the images students provide. In the end, students will have their own little piece of history with artifacts (images) that are properly cited and linked.

This article provides background information related to natural resources of the poles, and renewable and non-renewable energy.

This program examines the contributions of American servicewomen to the Space Race. From the late 1950s through the 1960s, the United States engaged in the Space Race against the Soviet Union, each trying to become the first country to put a man on the moon.
