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."

Vocabulary posters for the Alogrithms & Programming strand for Grade 7. Words included are from the 2017 Computer Science Curriculum Framework.

The students will copy and paste code snippets from Google Slides and run them on Replit.  After students run the code, they will screenshot the images created using "import Turtle", a graphics program within Python.  These screenshots will be used as a digital greeting card and students will practice composing emails. Lastly, students send/email their created digital artifacts to three of their friends or family members to wish them a "Happy New Year".*The image attached is just a sample and may or may not be what this lessons code creates.

Students will be able to use a visual tool to map out a mathematical expression and be able to code into the pyret computing program.

Lesson Plan for CS 7th grade. OBJECTIVES 1. At the end of this lesson students will be able to create and execute an algorithm that “programs” a partner to move from point A to point B, avoiding obstacles . 2. Students will plan independently and collaboratively to create a program 3. Students will share their pseudocode in Google Classroom or print completed pseudo code. 4. If time allows, students will begin to code their programs using a text based programming language.

In this lesson students will be able to identify that computers, like the solar system, complete predictable actions based on a set of variables. Students will learn about the solar system via Scratch.  They will explore block coding and computational thinking practices as they utilize Scratch as a tool for creativity, expression and learning about the Solar System.
