Frozen Coding Project (Code.Org) 19-20 S1

Let's use code to join Anna and Elsa as they explore the magic and beauty of ice. You will create snowflakes and patterns as you ice-skate and make a winter wonderland that you can then share with your friends!

Code.Org Frozen Tutorial (Hour of Code Version)

Step 1: Sign in to your Code.Org account using your Google Sign In

Step 2:  Click the link above to start the Frozen Tutorial

Step 3:  Complete each level as you progress through the program.

Step 4:  When you have completed the program, at the end of your final level, click the SHARE button and copy the link to your project.  



Step5: Open Gmail and send the link to Mr. S (hscribner@ccs.us) for credit.  You also need to click the SEND TO PHONE LINK and send a copy of the final level to your parents.

Frozen Performance Objective	Beginning (10)	Developing (15)	Accomplished (20)	Exemplary (25)
Programming	Poor We programed 1 design	Fair We programmed 2-3 designs and movements	Good We programmed 4-6 designs and movements	Excellent We programmed more than 6 designs and movements from the original start point
Geometric Forms	Poor Character makes no change from basic form.	Fair Character makes 1 additional form	Good Character makes 2-3 different forms.	Excellent Character makes 4+ different forms.
Creativity	Poor We copied the base in appearance.	Fair We made some changes in the appearance.	Good Everything is different from the base.	Excellent We created a whole new project appearance.
Teamwork	Poor No cooperation. Every student finished the project alone.	Fair We cooperated in class but we finished the project individually.	Good I helped another student create their project / or helped with at least one level.	Excellent I helped 2-3 other students with final projects / or multiple levels.  Email Proof Reqd.

Email Proof would be a 2-3 sentence statement describing who you helped, specific levels/skills you helped with, and what the outcome was.  Corroboration will be required by the students who work together.

Differentiation:

For beginning programmers, we suggest working in pairs or very small
groups (three to four students each) and ask each group to work together to
complete the tutorial using pair programming.



Students may struggle
with the mathematics in the tutorial (it requires a basic understanding of angle
measurement). Consider the
supplementary lesson plan, “The Drawing Machine” to introduce the basics before
you working on the tutorial for Frozen.



For more experienced students, we find that working independently on tutorials works well. Sometimes it helps to allow students to choose their own tutorial. If students aren’t
interested in Frozen, they can get a similar experience with other Hour of Code modules.
