Scratch : Valentine
Welcome to our VALENTINE activity!
Valentine is a program in which Cupid throws ‘’love arrows’’ to a ‘’heart target’’. We will build this program while meeting all curriculum expectations, from grade 1 to grade 8!
Teachers can then scaffold their lessons according to their students’ needs and to choose, if needed, a different point of entry for specific students. This approach meets the ‘‘low-floor-high-ceiling approach’’, as recommended by our Ministry of Education.
A complete unit, Anchor Chart, 2 rubrics (one for Flowcharts and one for coding), and Report Card comments are available for download here: Publicly available documents
