CS10 How to Teach an Instruction Activity

Each Lesson includes the following sequence of activities: 

Instruction →  Coding Techniques → Coding Exercises → Code Your Own

An Instruction introduces students to a new coding topic or tool and supports all students in mastering one or more learning objectives for a Lesson:

• Activates background knowledge that helps lay foundational context for the lesson
• Demonstrates authentic examples of the new topic solving real-world problems, which helps students understand why this topic is important
• Provides (optional for teacher) explicit instructions in slide notes for teachers in facilitating critical conversations and/or activities that are designed to push higher-order thinking. Includes clear directions and timings
