So, it is finally here, the last day of class is tomorrow and I have finished my last project and written up my lesson plan. Funny that I keep going back to add details or change small things about my Scratch project, as though I can never come back to it after the assignment is due. I think this lesson plan may be something I actually use, at least the notebook part, I do not know how I would get that many laptops for a camp lesson. I really enjoyed working on this project and am glad to be able to have three full prototypes each Scratch program paired with a notebook. I had intended to only write out the prototype steps for two of the projects, developing and competent, but I went back to the different codes that I had made and decided to make all of the projects to represent the different levels of students who may attempt to do this activity in my future classroom. It may have been extra work and taken extra time, but I feel more confident in my Scratch abilities now that I believe I actually could teach this class and help students if they get stuck or the code stops working as was the problem I had in my previous Scratch project.
My final project represents the proficient student who wants to challenge themselves while also being aware of their abilities and not going so far as to over-complicate their project, I know the very opposite of me but I wanted to be realistic to the age group I was focusing on and knew that if I went overboard it would result in a college-level project and not actually represent the 5th-8th graders I was work-shopping the lesson for.
This project, as well as my prototypes, represents the different levels of work and ability my students may have as well as an understanding of how I may have to adapt my lesson plan based on the different levels of skill my students may have or the grade I will be teaching this project to. Below are the final images of my project and the other prototypes.
