Lesson Plans

Name Description
Responsible or Irresponsible Citizens Care for the Environment- Lesson 3:

Students will use a Scratch model to identify ways responsible citizens act in an outdoor environment. This is lesson 3 of an integrated computer science and civics mini-unit. Students will be fully engaged while working with civics, computer science, and coding.

Responsible or Irresponsible Citizens in the School Community-Lesson 2:

Using a Scratch animation, students will gather information about the characteristics of a responsible citizen within the School Community. Students will use a model of a common area (such as a library) and coding to identify the effects of responsible or irresponsible citizens in a libraby. This is lesson two of a three-part integrated computer science and civics mini-unit.

Responsible or Irresponsible Citizens in the Classroom- Lesson 1:

Based on a Scratch animation, students will use a concept map to organize and sort the characteristics of responsible and irresponsible citizens. This lesson is part one of a three-part integrated computer science and civics mini-unit.
