Friday Lesson Plan

Hi all,

Here are your plans for today.  Please show respect to your teacher, Ms. Laminen.  Use your time wisely. I’ll see you all later today or Monday.  If any students come in needing tech repair, please refer them to the library if it is necessary. Please stay focused, relaxed, & enjoy the coding tasks.

Basic Plan all Periods

1. 10 min - Touch Typing on typing.com - Game Edition (13 min.)
2. 4 min - Please bring up class the Class Blog on the TV.  Ask students to go to the class blog and look over the lesson plans. 
3. Class Work - All students are working on programming in Scratch

Today’s Tasks All Classes P2 & 4 - Link to Aviation Career Slideshow - Complete your slide by Monday. Scratch Coding -  You have a choice of coding projects to work on today.  Pick one and create a new project in Scratch! 1. Using the Broadcast block to have sprites talk to each other 2. Making a sprite move randomly  3. Text to Speech in Scratch - Make you sprites talk out loud 4. How to use an If-Else block -  If you finish one, try another one.  How many can you make work? You will post what you get done on your blog next week. NOISE Level Noise level is between a 1 or 2 but should NEVER get so loud we disturb each other in class. Walking around is for help only, no social maneuvering around the classroom: Consequences for repeated (2) disruptions: Students may be moved away from others & continue working if the behavior improves Students may be sent to the office with a blue behavior referral - the student will lose promotion points. Just do your work and stay focused, Be Calm:)

4. Please help students who are struggling with the technology or instructions
5. 35 min - Work on projects - detailed above
1. Guest teacher - Students may be collaborating which is encouraged.  Or, they may be just socializing so you will need to move around the classroom and listen to conversations.  THIS IS CRUCIAL FOR GOOD CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT!!!!!.
6. Early finishers can go on  DIY Projects - If you are here, go to Gamestarmechanic.  
7. DIY ACTIVITIES

1. 1 min - Shutting down & logging out - I make all students wait at stations till all headphones, tables, and chairs are neatly arranged.  I excuse one row at a time.   Do not excuse students until workspaces are clean.

Reminders:

• Supply good, detailed, and readable evidence.
• Keep the noise and the movement down. 
• Email me if you have any questions.
• Collaboration is helpful, socializing is distracting - Know why you are out of your seat and it cannot be to socialize.

I wish you all a good day.  See you on Monday.

Mr. Garcia
