The document provides an overview of a coding lesson plan that includes: 1) Reviewing what is already known about computers and coding through examples. 2) Learning about coding and programming concepts such as programming languages. 3) Hands-on coding activities using a block-based visual programming language on code.org to write code for games like Angry Birds.

1. Think About It
You Do
How do video games work?
What do you already know about coding and
programming?
Challenge: Give examples.

2. Today’s Plan
• Review what we already know about how
things work and computers
• Learn about coding and programming
• WRITE CODE!!! With some cool activities
and familiar characters

3. Review
What have we learned?

9. Hour of Code
Stop at 3:11
fwd to 4:20

10. a set of symbols and rules used to represent
directions or instructions to a computer

11. What is programming?
the action of writing the code behind
programs and websites
Or
Creating a sequence of instructions

12. Programming Languages

13. Each language is different

14. Blockly
• Visual
• Easy, drag and drop
• Code is under the hood of each block

15. Expectations
• Work in pairs quietly
• Divide task fairly and evenly (Ex: one arrange blocks of
code, one press run code and debug if needed)
• Reset and try again! (= “debug”)

16. Let’s get started!
Start with
Angry
Birds to
learn
basics
See how
block
language
works
Click on

17. Are we STRIVING for the goal?
• Class Status for STRIVE
• Time Check
We Do
