ASSIGNMENT: Coding for K-2

  • Due Jan 20, 2022 by 3pm
  • Points 30
  • Submitting a website url, a media recording, or a file upload

For this project, you will create an interactive version of a children's book of your choice.  You will be limited to 4 scenes and 4 sprites per scene. After you have created your project you will need to share your project. To do so, you will need to complete a screen recording of you walking through your project. During this recording, show each sprite along with its code and explain what the code means. After walking through all the sprites and scenes, show how the whole project works together. Also, if you would like to earn full points, you will need to include a separate document that shows your Decomposition thinking and comments. 

Decomposition Examples:

 

Screen Recording Info

The desktop version of Scratch Jr. doesn't have a way to share your project files.  So, to turn in your project, you can make a short screen recording (talk through what you did in the project).  Here are instructions for making a screen recording:

iOS: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207935 Links to an external site. (make sure to long-press the record button and turn on the mic before recording!)

Mac OS: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208721 Links to an external site. Links to an external site.

Windows: https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/how-to-video-screen-capture-windows-10 Links to an external site.

Upload the screen recording as your project file. 

 

To earn full points for completing this assignment, you must also fill out the following brief survey:

Criteria Ratings Pts
Completeness
threshold: pts
Edit criterion description
5 pts Distinguished • All 4 scenes used • 3-4 sprites on each scene. • All sprites have actions. • Sprites' actions contribute to the story in a meaningful way.
4 pts Proficient • 3 scenes used • 1-2 sprites on each scene • sprites all have meaningful actions that contribute to the story
3 pts Basic Understanding • 1-2 Scenes • Story is cohesive, but minimal or incomplete • Essential sprites have actions, but there are sprites without actions or that don't contribute meaningfully to the story. • ~2 sprites per scene.
0 pts Lacking Understanding Sprites and scenes are insufficient to meet the needs of the story or confuse that purpose.

Code
threshold: pts
Edit criterion description
20 pts Distinguished Understanding Each sprite is coded with multiple actions and uses a variety of coding blocks (different blocks are used throughout the project). Code is debugged
18 pts Higher Understanding Each sprite is coded with multiple actions Code is debugged
16 pts Basic Understanding Code works as expected to accomplish the goal of the program. All sprites work as expected.
14 pts Approaching Understandiung • Code mostly works, but there may be a bug or two • Code fragments present (i.e., code that does not contribute to the intended goal)
0 pts Lacking Understanding • Code does not work. • Code is missing or full of bugs.

Coding Habits
threshold: pts
Edit criterion description
4 pts Distinguished Project works smoothly and it is clear what to do • There is no orphaned code (i.e., code not attached to an event) • Comments/Decomposition were created (this must be done outside of ScratchJr)
3 pts Proficient Project works but is lacking one or more other good habits.
2 pts Basic Project functions. • Comments/Decomposition is missing, and • There is orphaned code
0 pts Lacking Code does not work properly
