Learning outcomes
By the end of the Unit learners will be able to:
Explain about secrecy
Explain about encryption
Encode a plain text by a Caesar Cipher
Decode a message that is encoded by a Caesar Cipher
Crack a message that is encoded by a Caesar Cipher
Encode a plain text by a Random Substitution Cipher
Look for situation in witch its necessary encryption

 Teaching / Learning activities
Lesson 1
The teacher introduces the topic SECRECY: Secrecy is a critical part of our lives, in ways big and
small. As our lives increasingly migrate to the Internet, we want to be sure we can maintain the
privacy of our information and control who has access to privileged information.
The teacher divides the class into many groups and then asks student first to think about what
kind of information they would like remain secret.
Answer/Question activity In your daily life what things do you or other people rely on keeping a
secret? Who are these secrets being kept from? How are these things kept secret?

Lesson 2
Research. Each learner read Chapter 5 of Blown to Bits to find the mining of:
SUBSTITUTION CHIPER
CAESAR CIPHER
RANDOM SUBSTITUTION CIPHER
FREQUENCY ANALYSIS
Look the video from code.org: The Internet_ Encryption & Public Keys
Answer/Question activity. Who used Cryptography for the first time? What kind of Cipher did he
use? Describe a Substitution Cipher. Describe random Substitution Cipher. What is Frequency
Analysis? Can you encode a plain text? Can you decode a message encoded by a Caesar Cipher? Can
you crack a message encoded by a Caesar Cipher?
Instruments for assessment
Lesson 1
Oral assessment without evaluation. Its necessary to ensure students have understood the topic.
Lesson 2
Final Test on code.org platform: CSP course- Unit 4- Lesson 5.
Teacher asks students to prepare some Powerpoint slides to present the topic.
Evaluation in tenths (minimum grade = 1 ; sufficiency = 6; maximum score = 10)

 Scaffolding tips
The focus of the unit is on the language.
Language for the teacher Language for the learner
Settle down quickly please, lets get I think they can , because
started. I dont think so, because
Lets just recap on what we did the other I dont know
day. Can you help us?
What do you know about ? There are kinds of
Can you tell me something about ?
Read out loud.
Dont forget to write a note about the
information your partner gives you.
Dont panic!
Find a partner to work with.
Is that clear?
Youve worked well today. Good.
