<p>Powerpoints and scratch files showing clearly how to code a zombie game in scratch.</p> <p>Two powerpoints showing how to first of all make a scratch game then how to add extras e.g. make it two player</p> <p>Links to the youtube videos which were adapted into teachable powerpoints.</p> <p>These lessons are very engaging for KS2, KS3/ KS4 and useful for game design.</p> <p>Students will learn:<br /> Use drawing tools<br /> Be able to identify and use:<br /> Events<br /> Loops<br /> Selection<br /> Variables</p> <p>Use problem solving skills to:<br /> Create code in Scratch to control sprites<br /> Develop code in Scratch – independently if possible</p>

<p>An easy to follow assessment based around Scratch and key programming concepts. Q1 covers “sequencing”, Q2 covers “variables”, Q3 covers “sequencing”, Q4 covers “operators” and Q5 covers “iteration” and “debugging”. There is an easy to follow mark scheme and a revision powerpoint which could be set as homework, prior to the assessment. It is ideal for KS3, especially Year 7 or 8 and is really well differentiated, as there are easy questions and then increasingly trickier ones. It can be set as an end of unit assessment or as a baseline test to find out how much students already know about key programming terms, such as sequencing, variables, selection and iteration.</p>

<p>Looking at variables in scratch for KS2 low KS3</p>

<p>This is a challenge I use at the end of term with my Y6/7/8 students. Students demand it that have completed it the year before, as they add additional functionality from their gained coding experiences and are always keen to add more features and more songs.</p> <p>A great activity to use to introduce Scratch programming for the first time, as well as concepts like libraries (for the music functionality) loops, variables and cloning, to name a few.</p> <p>This can be used at the end of a unit of study, or as lessons for complete beginners, as no prior skills are used and students are guided to complete the project to a working standard.</p> <p>Links included for teachers to working example copies on Scratch</p> <p>NOTE: This is made in 2020, so is the current and up to date Scratch screen shots.</p>

However, many tend to be like recipes - students almost mechanically enter code and create “delicious cakes”, without learning a lot about Scratch.</p> <p>My goal is to get students to create a fun project, and at the same time learn how the instructions work and fit together. I use the following approach:<br /> - break the project into manageable chunks<br /> - present “pseudo-code” for each chunk<br /> - provide the Scratch commands to implement the pseudo-code, but jumbled up<br /> In this way, students learn about pseudo-code (an important part of coding), and have to understand the Scratch instructions in order to sequence them correctly to match the pseudo-code.</p> <p>The lessons comprise:<br /> 1. a PowerPoint with instructions<br /> 2. a Word document with the instruction slides printed 2 to a page as a handout<br /> 3. accompanying Scratch files for teachers that match each stage of the project</p> <p>ALL my postings are FULLY “classroom-tested”, and continually updated. But there is always the possibility of error and room for improvement, so please provide constructive feedback.</p>

<p>Social story for a child who has been scratching others.</p> <p>The point of a social story is to use a patient and reassuring tone to teach children about social situations in a way that can be easily understood. Social stories can be useful for any child who is struggling to understand a situation or concept or needs help to understand a social skill or social cue, expectations, perspectives, common responses or is troubled about an upcoming event but social stories are particularly useful for children on the autistic spectrum for whom social cues can be challenging and who often suffer anxiety if they do not know what to expect from a situation.</p> <p>These books should be used over and over to reinforce the point so I would suggest either putting the pages into a display book or laminating and binding them.</p> <p>Clipart images courtesy of Kari Bolt Children’s Illustrator</p>
