If you are looking for ways to deepen participation in Hour of Code, I made this hyperdoc to use with grades 3-5 but it could be used with 6th as well. The opening statement "Hour of Code Matters" served almost like a QFocus as I led students through the "hook" section. Then we continued with the "connect" section. Since we are 1:1 Chromebooks, students then took a snapshot of themselves and inserted it into the grid.I share this doc in view setting with students, but we viewed the short videos as whole group and had those discussions as prompted in the hook and connection section.On the hour of code day, the students will work on the following sections: Learn a strategy, explore, and reflect again. The Learn a Strategy is quick- just a mini lesson. This is our second year doing an Hour of Code, so I don't spend time on the basics of what coding is since many of our students progressed thru code.org last year. This year, for these age groups, I want to focus on building and monitoring perseverance.Feel free to make a copy, revise, discard...whatever. You will need to make a copy of the grid if you do that photo piece.Jane
