Coding: The Grand Finale!

Students in grades 3-5 spent the month of September learning to read and write computer code.  For our final project, each student created a storyboard for a story idea they had.  The storyboard included a title, setting, characters, and the elements of plot: beginning, rising action to set up the problem, climax or problem, falling action or resolution, and a conclusion.  After the storyboard was completed, students used the Alice program to write the lines of code to animate their story.  Finally, students will present their storyboards and animations to a small group of classmates next week.  This has been an amazing learning experience for these kids!
