Small Basic - Entire Unit Resources (easy to use!)

An entire unit of work for use with the program Small Basic suitable for Key Stage 3 (we deliver this to Year 8). It is a great (and free!) program to use if you want students to progress from block-based programming (such as Scratch) onto text-based programming. This contains:

7 lessons work, including a DIRT lesson in the middle for students to work on an area they need to improve on
A full and detailed scheme of work with information about numeracy, literacy and a lesson plan for each lesson
A two-part workbook (the DIRT lesson goes in between) as two separate DOC files, and the complete workbook if that is preferred.
Clear extension tasks for all students in all lessons.
3 Homework worksheets
Powerpoint presentations for all lessons

We have had a few non-specialists in the department so this unit of work was designed to be easily accessible and clear for everyone to use - you should (hopefully!) be able to pick this up and teach it without too much preparation beyond the amount you would usually do for a lesson.
