Lesson Plans

How does Generative AI work?:

Students will explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the basics on how generative AI models use Large Language Models (LLMs) and Natural Language Processing NLP to generate outputs. This K-3 lesson is an integrated Computer Science, ELA and Math lesson designed for application of math and ELA content knowledge while exploring and using computational thinking to understand how generative AI works, making cross-curricular connections to understand emerging technologies.

Responsible Citizens: Creating Code Part 2:

Students will create a Scratch block code program that explains the characteristics of a responsible citizen. Using a previously completed planning sheet, students will use Scratch block code programming to create a project that displays an act of responsible citizenship within the community.

Type: Lesson Plan

Fix the Code: Florida Symbols:

Students will propose solutions to coding errors in a Scratch program that identifies and explains symbols that represent Florida, in this integrated lesson. The students will use their basic knowledge of symbols that represent Florida to search for issues in a coded program in Scratch. The problems present in the code will be scrambled facts about Florida symbols. Students will suggest coding edits and then rearrange and alter the code in the Scratch program.

Type: Lesson Plan

Responsible Citizens: Creating Code Part 1:

Students will plan a Scratch block code program that explains the characteristics of responsible citizens. After viewing an example Scratch project, students and teachers will explore the various block coding and commands that run Scratch programming. Using a brainstormed list of acts of responsible citizenship, students will then complete a planning sheet that includes aspects of block code programming to illustrate one act of responsible citizenship that they will describe.

Creating Block Code for Pascua Florida Day: Part 2 Coding in Scratch:

Students will create a simple Scratch coding program to explain how Pascua Florida Day is a symbol that represents Florida. Students will choose between provided backgrounds, sprites and write and voice their own narration. Students will use the paint editor tool or previously created images to add to their Scratch project.
