Week Five

This document provides an overview of Week 5 activities for a coding class. The week includes: recapping vocabulary; finishing Scratch projects and adding challenges; modeling how to write instructions; having students write algorithms for their games; rotating activities including using Makey Makeys, debugging games, and learning about broadcasting; and presenting completed booklets with self-evaluation. The goal is for students to improve their Scratch games and ensure others can play without help by including clear instructions.
