Chapter 1 Progression (13 minutes)

Facilitator Note: It might be helpful to have participants follow along in their curriculum guide (pages 21 - 22) during this presentation.

(1 minute) Chapter 1 Overview

Facilitator Instructions:

• Display the “Chapter 1 Progression” slides from the slide deck
• Share with participants a high level overview is provided as a reference on page 21 of the curriculum guide.
• Participants should walk away understanding that each lesson builds towards the chapter project and that the main focus of the chapter is representing data.

(2 minutes) Chapter 1 Project - Create a Representation

• Display the “Lesson 8 Slide”
• Briefly go over the project overview and items submitted by students
  • Overview: Representing complex objects or ideas that you care about to a computer is a challenging task. It requires you to understand how computers represent information and will always involve trade offs. For this project you will design a binary system for representing your perfect day. The challenge will be finding a class-wide system to capture all the different elements you care about.
  • You will:
    • Write a short description of your perfect day
    • Identify key elements that could be represented by a computer
    • Collaborate with classmates to design a class-wide representation system
    • Represent your perfect day in that system on a punch card
    • Decode a classmate’s perfect day punch card
  • Students will submit:
    • The completed Project Guide
    • Your filled-in punch card
    • Your classmates’ decoded punch card and feedback
• Navigate to Code Studio, Unit 5: Lesson 8 (link is also located in the slide deck) and show participants how to find the resources available for this project (rubric, CS practices reflection, project guide, sample marked rubrics, project exemplar) *

(8 minutes) Explore Project Resources: Breakout Rooms

Allow participants time to explore the project resources on Code Studio for eight minutes. Note: the goal is for participants to know where to access resources and begin to think about how the resources will be used in the lesson and for assessment.

Unit 5, Lesson 8: Create a Representation-Resources:

• Exemplars
  • Project Guide
  • Sample Marked Rubrics 1
  • Sample Marked Rubrics 2
• Reflection

Transition:

• Suggest to groups they each may want to pick a resource to explore and share key takeaways to the rest of the group. (~5 minutes exploration)
• Participants share key takeaways, questions, or suggestions in breakout rooms. (~3 minutes discussion)

Producer Instructions: Send groups of four participants to breakout rooms for eight minutes.

Circulate:

• Circulate the breakout rooms
• Identify common or key ideas to share with the whole group
• Bring participants back to the main room after eight minutes and provide two minutes for any questions, suggestions, or key takeaways to be shared with the whole group. Include any common ideas or key ideas heard when circulating throughout the breakout rooms.

(2 minutes) Share Out Questions

Bring participants back to the main room after eight minutes and provide two minutes for any questions, suggestions, or key takeaways to be shared with the whole group. Include any common or key ideas heard when circulating through the breakout rooms.

Chapter 2 Progression (13 minutes)

(1 minute) Chapter 2 Overview

Facilitator Instructions:

• Display the “Chapter 2 Progression” slide from the slide deck
• Share with participants a high level overview is provided as a reference on page 22 of the curriculum guide.
• Participants should walk away understanding that each lesson builds towards the chapter project and that the main focus of the unit is using data to solve problems.

(2 minutes) Chapter 2 Project - Make a Recommendation

• Display the “Lesson 16" slide
• Briefly go over the project overview and items submitted by students
  • Overview: In this unit you’ve seen how data can be used to solve all kinds of problems. Now it’s your turn to use data to help someone. In this project, you will use data to make a recommendation to a classmate.
  • You will:
    • Work with a partner
    • Define a problem that could be addressed by a recommendation
    • Identify the data you need and create a survey to collect it
    • Interpret the data to find relationships between survey answers
    • Create an algorithm to make a prediction based on data
    • Test your algorithm
    • Present your work to your classmates
  • Students will submit:
    • Completed Project Guide (this document)
    • Completed Peer Review
    • Any materials used to present your work

• Navigate to Code Studio, Unit 5: Lesson 16 (link is located in the slide deck) and show participants how to find the resources available for this project (rubric, CS practices reflection, project guide, sample marked rubrics, project exemplar)

• Before participants explore, share the journal prompt to help keep in mind the “Problem Solving Process” during the exploration.

(8 minutes) Explore Project Resources

Allow participants time to explore the project resources on Code Studio for about eight minutes. Note: the goal is for participants to know where to access resources and begin to think about how the resources will be used in the lesson and for assessment.

Unit 5, Lesson 16: Project - Make a Recommendation - Resources:

• Exemplars
  • Project Guide
  • Sample Marked Rubrics 1
  • Sample Marked Rubrics 2
• Reflection

Transition:

• Suggest to groups they each may want to pick a resource to explore and share key takeaways to the rest of the group. (~5 minutes exploration)
• Participants share key takeaways, questions, or suggestions in breakout rooms. (~3 minutes discussion)

Producer Instructions: Send groups of four participants to breakout rooms for eight minutes.

Circulate:

• Circulate the breakout rooms
• Identify common or key ideas to share in the closing remark
• Bring participants back to the main room after eight minutes and provide two minutes for any questions, suggestions, or key takeaways to be shared with the whole group.

(2 minutes) Share Out Questions

Bring participants back to the main room after eight minutes and provide two minutes for any questions, suggestions, or key takeaways to be shared with the whole group.
