This Week 3 Lesson Plan introduces learners to Scratch. The lesson focuses on exploring the Scratch interface, including key components like the Blocks Palette, Code Area, and Stage. Learners will engage in hands-on activities to experiment with motion blocks, customize sprites using costumes, and manage sprites by adding or deleting them.

The lesson includes:

Structured guidance for teachers, including preparation steps, step-by-step instructions, and teaching methodologies like problem-based learning and cooperative learning.
Activity Sheets for learners, incorporating reflection tasks (KWLS chart) and coding challenges to reinforce concepts.
Practical coding tasks that foster creativity and problem-solving skills.

By the end of the lesson, learners will develop foundational coding competencies, including computational thinking, reading and executing commands, and debugging simple programs.

Resources Included:

Scratch setup instructions (online and offline).
Visual guides for Scratch components.
Printable Activity Sheets for learners.

Ideal for educators and learners new to Scratch, this lesson builds confidence in foundational coding concepts while fostering collaboration and critical thinking.
