Week 1 8th GradeFirst Friday of the Quarter!!! 1. Open your journals first thing! They need to be ready to add some of the vocab! 2. Use the [END] key to get to the bottom of the page, and click on the Join Quizlet for your class hour. 3. Complete the learn and write activities, and add 5 of the words to your Journals. 4: Quizlet LIVE during the last 20 minutes!!!! Learning Intention-students will... learn some of the vocabulary that we will be using this quarter through Quizlet! Students will be using their journal to reflect on activities and learn their Vocab Success Criterion: Vocabulary Entries for at least 5 items are created. Quizlet activities of Learn and Write are completed for both study sets. Students have fun engaging in Quizlet LIVE. Standards CSTA : 1B-AP-08 - Compare and refine multiple algorithms for the same task and determine which is the most appropriate. 1B-AP-11 - Decompose (break down) problems into smaller, manageable subproblems to facilitate the program development process. 1B-AP-16 - Take on varying roles, with teacher guidance, when collaborating with peers during the design, implementation and review stages of program development Thursday: 1. Today we are using Google Classroom to create a Journal that we will reflect in EVERY DAY ;) Please go and open your reflection right now. We are going to complete it for the first two days. 2. Then we are going to go to Quizlet and do some study sets. You will need to complete the learn for each of them. Learning Intention: Students will use math and coding skills together with problem solving to complete the exercise in Tynker! Students will be using a journal to reflect on activities and their Vocab Success Criterion: Lesson is complete, and Journal entries are complete for Monday through Thursday Vocabulary is complete for Learn for the current activities in Quizlet.

We are starting with Tynker 300 today Tuesday: 1. Join my Google Classroom HINT: codes are at the bottom of the page (use the [end] key to get to the bottom) Learning Intention: Students join the online community of the classroom by connecting through Google Classroom Success Criterion: Students successfully join and are connected throughout our many classroom activities using this method Standards: NETS 2a Students cultivate and manage their digital identity and reputation and are aware of the permanence of their actions in the digital world. NETS 2b Students engage in positive, safe, legal and ethical behavior when using technology, including social interactions online or when using networked devices. 2. NAME TAG Survey Complete it! Learning Intention: Students use the survey to convey information about themselves that they want to share with our class. Success Criterion: Students complete the survey that will be used to create their nametags for our class. We are building community Standards: NETS 2a Students cultivate and manage their digital identity and reputation and are aware of the permanence of their actions in the digital world. NETS 2b Students engage in positive, safe, legal and ethical behavior when using technology, including social interactions online or when using networked devices. 3. Initial 5 minute typing pre-test will be today using the LETTERLESS keyboards at Typing.com LEARNING INTENTION: Students will... keep their eyes off of their hands sit up straight (not uncomfortable) keep wrists from resting on the desk INCREASE THEIR SPEED & ACCURACY SUCCESS CRITERION: Students are NOT looking at their hands Speed 35 WPM or higher Accuracy 90% or higher required Students notice the difference in other classes STANDARDS: CTSA: 1A-DA-05 Store, copy, search, retrieve, modify, and delete information using a computing device and define the information stored as data. ISTE: TE10S2: Communication and Collaboration TE10S4: Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making TE10S6: Technology Operations and Concepts hardware. WHY? "I will use my perseverance to increase my speed and efficiency at keyboarding. That will build muscle memory so when I work on the computer, I will be able to focus on the work, and not the typing." 4. Code Refresher! Go to Code.org Log on with Google (the easy button please) Then do some of the puzzles! Lesson 1: Functions in Minecraft Lesson 2: Swimming Fish with Sprite Lab CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) AP - Algorithms & Programming 1B-AP-08 - Compare and refine multiple algorithms for the same task and determine which is the most appropriate. 1B-AP-11 - Decompose (break down) problems into smaller, manageable subproblems to facilitate the program development process.

Friday Everyone: add additional vocab words or code blocks from the lessons (2)

CHOICE:

Students can choose to work quietly to complete Tynker lessons that may not be complete
(see Wednesday - Friday below)

Students can choose to study at Quizlet and get ready for Quizlet live.

How about those vocabulary words?!!! Now we will continue to Tynker around!

Let’s study the new blocks you will be using!

Learning Intention:

Students review necessary vocabulary

Students complete journaling

re-enforce the vocabulary using Quizlet Vocabulary Practice!

Students ensure that all of their projects RUN

Success Criterion

Journal is complete!

Vocabulary is brought to reality in the lessons!

ALL PUZZLES RUN WHEN YOU HIT PLAY

Tynker Programming

Lessons 5 & 6: Conditional Loops and Show and Hide (resource page)

In lesson 5, students will learn how to specify an Actor’s costume and learn about the “forever-if” loop. Students will also create a project that uses function blocks. Coding concepts covered in this lesson include: Next Costume and Forever If.

In lesson 6, students will learn how to show and hide Actors using conditionals. Coding concepts covered in this lesson include: When Event Occurs, Costume #/Name, and Operators.

Learning Intention: Students will...
Complete the 5th & 6th Lessons and learn the new code blocks used.

Switch to costume

Forever if

walkRight, walkLeft, walkUp, walkDown

Vocabulary:
Function: A sequence of commands that can be run together as if it were a single command

Success Criterion: You will...

Lesson 4: Motion and Tracking (resource page)

In this lesson, students will learn how to program keyboard keys (web) or tilt controls (mobile) to direct Actors to point and move in specific directions. Students will also create a fun maze game while learning how to program Actors to detect when they’re touching another Actor or the edge of the screen. Coding concepts covered in this lesson include: Point in Direction, When Key Pressed, and Touching?

New Code Block:

: If the condition is true, then run the code inside the block.

Learning Intention: Students will...
Complete the 4th lesson on Motion & Tracking

Point in Direction

When Key Pressed
