Lesson 1 - Drawing Shapes

This document outlines a lesson plan for Year 2 computing, focusing on programming with Turtle Logo and Scratch to draw shapes. It includes aims, success criteria, and specific commands for moving and rotating the turtle, as well as instructions for drawing squares and rectangles. The lesson emphasizes algorithm creation, debugging, and the use of commands like 'fd', 'lt', 'rt', and 'cs'.
