Week 3 - Ready? Set? Go!
Think
What is the process we go through to solve a
problem, create something with
computational thinking?
As you go through today’s activity, be aware
of those steps and how you circle back
through them.
Do
Before we begin, break down the elements of
the one of the geometric works on the next
slide.
• Where do you see patterns?
• How might you get Scratch to
automate or create those patterns and
create art for you?
• Ask Iain for a really big helpful hint
Do
Think
While you are working on your art:
• Think about the processes you are following and the
thinking you are doing.
• How might you tell a peer how your Scratch art is
similar to your chosen artist.
• What different subjects did you draw upon to
accomplish your task?
• How could you reduce your marking load using this
kind of assignment?
• Though you did this individually you were never alone.
How was this achieved? Why would you want to
achieve this in your classrooms?

Portfolio/Discussion
• Learning goals and stretch learning goals - why?
• This was the first time you were asked to create
a program from scratch.
• What internal or external resources, or
learnings did you access?
• How did you deal with the struggle?
• How might this all work together for learning?
