Lesson Progression:
| Duration: | The Teacher will… | The Students will… |
| 0:00-15:00 | Do a quick overview of scratch.
Then introduce the new artist (Piet Mondrian) and discuss the picture of his artwork.
|
Discuss about what they remember from scratch.
Listen and ask questions about Piet Mondrian and apply VTS when discussing his art work. |
| 15:00-25:00 | Have the students get their computers, log into scratch, and create a new project.
Then explain the goal for this assignment and what techniques they will be using on scratch to create their new art work. Display her new scratch on the projector. |
Get computers and log into scratch.
Then create a new project and wait for further directions. Listen to what the goal of the assignment is, what techniques they are using and ask any questions they might have before starting. |
| 25:00-55:00 | Work step by step following the scratch notes. Pausing in between steps to allow students to catch up. | Watch what the teacher does on the projector and completing each step along with her.
Raise their hand if they have questions

| 55:00-60:00 | Instruct the students to log off of scratch, shut down their computers and put them away. Then show students finished art work and giving praise for all their hard work.
|
Log off of scratch, shut down their computers and put them away.
View their classmate’s art work and be proud of what they have made. |
Grading Criteria:
- Demonstrates effective use of “sound” features and parallelism.
- Demonstrates an effort to create similar to Mondrian’s work.
