module 2 - Drawing shapes and repeating

Learning Goal: 
The goal of Module 2 is to allow students draw different shapes in Scratch and to learn about repetition.
Lesson Objectives:
  1. To introduce the students to the Scratch interface.
  2. To allow students to build and save their first scripts.
Students explore algorithms in more detail. Students will write and design algorithms to draw pictures. Students have the opportunity to work with a partner to make sure their algorithms are correct.
Computers are much better than humans at performing repetitive tasks. Students are introduced to the idea of iteration/repetition in Scratch, by drawing different shapes such as squares, triangles and circles.
Students know how to use Scratch to perform repetitive tasks and draw different shapes. Repetition is explored in more detail in this lesson.
