Lesson 13: Creative Coding with The Theater – Day 3

We are almost done with our project! You should be proud of what you have accomplished in this unit and this project.

Discuss: What are you most proud of about your project so far?

Discussion Goal: Students share what they are proud of about their project.

It's time to put the finishing touches on our projects!

Using the remaining items on your Project Planning Board and the feedback from your peers, continue to develop your Creative Coding Project. Each time you complete a goal, commit your code and move the tasks to the next column. There should only be one item in the “In Progress” column at a time, meaning that each item should be entirely completed before moving on to the next item.

Do This: Direct students to Level 1 on Code Studio to finish and submit their Creative Coding Project.

Remind students that they may not complete every item on their Project Planning Board or Project Backlog, and that is okay! Software engineers have to make decisions all the time about which features are most important. The purpose of creating Project Planning Boards and Project Backlogs is to focus on completing the most important items first.

Congratulations! You have completed your creative coding project for this unit. Let's show off our work through a Gallery Walk so you can share your work with your classmates.

Distribute: Give each student several sticky notes.

Do This: Have students participate in a Gallery Walk to view each other's programs and leave sticky notes noting what they like about the program.

Do This: Direct students to respond to the End of Project Reflection prompt on the Creative Coding with The Theater Project Planning Guide.

If time permits, have students share their thoughts and ideas with a neighbor.

Gather the Project Planning Boards to reuse in the next unit.

Creative Coding with The Theater Project Planning Guide: Use the rubric on the last page of the Creative Coding with The Theater Project Planning Guide to assess the projects.
