Vocabulary

Engage: Read students a story book about bugs. Have class brainstorm/generate a list of bugs of various types. (See list in “Materials” for book options)

1

Introduce: Show sample project video on slide 3. Ask students to notice what is happening in the video (re-watch if needed). Define Sprite. Explain that you will edit and create bug sprites.

2

Model Original Sprite Creation: Show students how to open Sprite Editor and add a blank sprite canvas. Demonstrate how to use the shape, line, select, move, rotate, stamp, cut, fill, and color picker tools to build a bug. (Alternatively, show videos on slide 7 & 8)

4

Model Sprite Editing: Show students how to open Sprite Editor and edit a sprite using

the select, color picker, and fill tools. (Alternatively, show video on slide 6)

3

Code Bug Dance: Remind students how to create Algorithms for each bug using an Event to start the action. Encourage them to put their algorithm in a Loop so the action will repeat.

5

Debrief: What kind of code blocks did you use to make bug movements more realistic? What problems did you have and how did you solve them?

Fast Finisher Activities

1. Read a picture book about bugs to start the lesson.
2. Have students act out each others project. They say their code outloud for one of the bugs and have the rest of the students follow their algorithm.
3. Create additional bug sprites.
4. Could you create another project with dancing characters.
5. Have students pick a habitat and have the students pick or draw animals or plants from that habitat to code.
6. Create a dialogue between sprites that is related to bugs.
