Lesson Overview

This product will broaden our boundaries to create an integrated paper version with  computerized applications 

and an alternative if the computer is not used  for any reason.

Mazyad's Adventures will be a suitable replacement for the digital one  if no computer

or device is available.

It will also serve as an introduction to understanding programming in general.

Getting Started (2-5 mins)

Introduce the activity (2-3 minutes)

Kick off your Hour of Code by inspiring students and discussing how computer science impacts every part of our lives.

Direct students to the activity (2 minute)

• Show Guide Paper and explain it.
• Tell: students to look at help section when they only  face difficulty.
• Tell: students that they can start from 1 to 8 level In order or not (in any way).

Activity (20-40 mins)

Facilitate and support students to complete the tutorial, alone or in groups

When your students come across difficulties

It’s okay to respond:

• “I don’t know. Let’s figure this out together.”
• “Technology doesn’t always work out the way we want.”
• “Learning to program is like learning a new language; you won’t be fluent right away.”

What to do if a student finishes early?

• Students can see all tutorials and try another Hour of Code activity at code.org/learn
• Or, ask students who finish early to help classmates who are having trouble with the activity.

Wrap-Up (5-10 mins)

Debrief & Close

• Debrief the activity.
• Celebrate and pass out certificates and stickers.
• Share photos and videos of your Hour of Code event on social media. Use #HourOfCode and @codeorg so we can highlight your success, too!

Other ideas

• Do a gallery walk so students can see each other’s work.
• Do a “Think-Pair-Share” to allow students to reflect individually, discuss with a partner and share out as a group.
• Let participants know they can continue to learn at http://code.org/learn/beyond.

Assessment/Extended Learning (2-5 mins)

Optional

Time permitting, challenge your students to reflect on the day’s activities and continue their learning. Consider:

• Exit Ticket. Have students complete an Exit Ticket before leaving to assess learning. 
• Flip your classroom. Challenge students to pick one of the tutorials they didn’t complete today, but that one of their friends did, and try to do it on their own at home.
• Writing prompt. Have students journal at home about what they learned and how it made them feel.

Beyond one hour

There are many ways to go Beyond an Hour of Code:

• Explore other curricula from our partners.
• Teach the Code Studio Computer Science Fundamentals courses. Code.org offers free professional development for these courses, online or in-person.
• Invite a computer science expert to your class. Sign up for a virtual classroom.
