 * Instructional Sequence**

Students would have the chose of working alone or with a partner. Cooperation will be encouraged. Students will be encouraged to ask classmates for assistance. The teacher is teaching an intellectual skill so it is important that students receive feedback during their practice. It will be instructor led using computers loaded with Scratch.
 * Student Groupings and Media Selections**

1. Gain attention and motivate learners Divide students into groups of two. Each group is given blocks and a manila folder. One student creates a block structure. Once structure is completed they describe the structure to their partner. The partner tries to duplicate the structure without asking questions. Only the builder can talk. 2. Describe objectives Create an animated story using a programming language called Scratch. 3. Describe and promote recall of prerequisite skills Relate Scratch to Legos. Scratch is very similar to building with Legos. Scratch is a way to build programming by snapping blocks together to create scripts. The computer reads the scripts to make the sprites move. You just practiced a form of programming with your partner. Giving good directions is vital. Your partner’s building depended on your ability to give good directions. The same is true with Scratch. The program will only run correctly if you program it correctly.
