    This learning plan introduces students aged 12-15 to the Scratch programming environment. Over the course of 60 minutes, students will work individually and in pairs to write programs that draw basic geometric shapes like squares and triangles. They will start by observing demonstrations of how to use Scratch, then practice tasks like drawing a square using given blocks. Later, students will modify their programs to use techniques like the "repeat" block to complete shapes more efficiently. By the end of the lesson, students will combine shapes to draw more complex objects like houses and ships while applying rotational techniques. The teacher will be available for discussion and feedback throughout the activities.

    Learning Design for: Introduction in Coding

    CONTEXT
    Topic: Drawing geometric shapes with Scratch
    Total learning time: 60
    Number of students: 12
    Description: This learning plan is for children aged 12-15. Students already are able to explain
    what a problem and what an algorithm is. They also can explain what a program is. This
    learning activities will be their first contact with a programming environment. Maybe some
    students have been taught basics in coding in primary school.

    AIMS
    To solve a given mathematical problem by writing the code

    OUTCOMES
    Application: To learn the free programming language Scratch - To combine blocks from
    different command pallets.
    Comprehension: to design geometric shapes using the right blocks in scratch to compute the
    right angle of each geometric shape be able to correct, improve and expand the program
    generated by them
    Psychomotor skills: To cooperate and provide the knowledge and skills to the team.
    Knowledge: Recognize where they can use the block "repeat"

    TEACHING-LEARNING ACTIVITIES
    Demonstration of Scratch
    Read Watch Listen // 10 minutes // 12 students // Tutor is available
    Teacher demonstrates the programming environment Scratch which is already installed on
    every computer in the computer room. He introduces new concepts like block, script, sprites,
    event driven programming, object oriented programming. The teacher shows also the online
    platform in scratch.mit.edu.

    Read Watch Listen // 2 minutes // 12 students // Tutor is available


    The teacher distributes the working sheet with the task for the students.

    www.allyouneediscode.eu
    Collaborate // 10 minutes // 2 students // Tutor is not available
    The students have to write a program where the sprite draws a square. The blocks they need
    are given on the working sheet.

    Investigate // 10 minutes // 2 students // Tutor is not available


    The students have to write a program where the sprite draws a triangle. Here they have to
    think about the degrees of each angle of the triangle.

    Investigate // 5 minutes // 2 students // Tutor is not available


    Now the students have to think about making some changes in their program with the result
    to use less blocks to draw a square and a triangle.

    Discuss // 5 minutes // 12 students // Tutor is available


    Teacher discusses with all students the usage of the block "repeat".

    Practice // 5 minutes //2 students // Tutor is not available


    Students have to change their programs and use the block "repeat" and reduce the number
    of blocks they used

    Produce // 10 minutes // 2 students // Tutor is not available


    Students then have to draw a house and a ship by using the squares and triangles and they
    have to think about the degrees the sprite has to turn around when drawing a house and a
    ship.

    Discuss // 3 minutes // 12 students // Tutor is available


    In the end of the hour the teacher makes a revision of what they have learned and answers
    questions
