(1 minute) Review of Asynchronous Work
💷 In the asynchronous work you looked at the Unit Overviews to Units 4 and 5. So you know at this point students are familiar with the EIPM structure and have learned how to use variables, conditionals, and functions from Unit 4. You also looked at the mental model introduced in U5L1.
Facilitator Tip
These five minutes can be used as participants need. You might want to suggest that people who want a refresher on Unit 5, Lesson 1, use this time to look at the slides and lesson plan quickly before we start the model lesson.
(4 minutes) U5L1 - Lists Explore Overview
Remarks
💷 The lesson you are about to see is the second lesson in Unit 5. This means that learners just saw U5L1 - Variables Explore prior to this lesson. When you read that lesson you saw small baggies connected together to form a list. You also learned that each of these items in a list have an index and we start indexing at 0.
You also learned how to access items in a list and how the removeItem, appendItem, and insertItem commands work. As a reminder, you can always read the documentation for these commands in CodeStudio if you need a refresher on how they work.
💷 Having this knowledge, students will enter into the next investigate lesson for Lists. It is important to know that your students will be using a list in their Create PTs too.
In the context of Unit 5, this is the first lesson in the unit. Most schools are 10 weeks into the school year at this point.
Before we go into this model lesson, let's all stand up and take a 2 minute stretch break.
Lead the stretches - remind participants that this is not intended to be a longer break, it is just a short one.
