DO

Either choose a new lesson or update lesson from week 2 and add 1-2 equitable CS teaching strategies you plan to try out when you teach the lesson.

Note 1: We are providing CS-infused activities, lessons, and units used by Kim Wilkens (Miss-Bit). Please contact Kim (ksw8y@virginia.edu), if you have any questions about these lessons. We are also providing links to other lesson repositories.

Note 2: No matter which lesson you choose for remixing, please use the  Lesson Plan Template. Check out the video tutorial and lesson plan cheat sheet for more info. Here are some examples of CS-infused lessons using the template:
  • Events in Scratch Jr
