Part of Lesson Plan: Scratch Intro #6 - Project Part 1

Activity Overview / Details

Students will start brain storming and putting their plan into action.  Up until now students have been in the the learning mode and doing activities that have predesigned outcomes.  Students are very ready to have the opportunity to use their creativity to produce an outcome of their choice. 

Students will barely have a chance to really get started which is the perfect hook and opener for the next lesson.  Students will come in for the next lesson 7 and before the bell even rings the students will be in the Scratch program and started!  Guaranteed!

Use the timer of your choice or here is the one I used in previous lessons:

I have the timer on the overhead projector and put one student in charge of sound off's when he/she sees the timer hit 15/10/5 and the timer will beep when time is up.
