Scout's Programming Expedition: Part 1

• This lesson represents Part 1 of a 4-part story-based sequence designed to introduce students to programming concepts, using Scout as the primary character. This initial segment sets the foundation for the story that unfolds in subsequent lessons. To facilitate a seamless teaching experience, we recommend utilizing the Ready-to-Go slides, which are equipped with embedded videos and interactive activities tailored to engage students effectively. These materials are crafted to ensure minimal preparation time while maximizing instructional impact. As this is the beginning of the story arc, focus on familiarizing students with the narrative and basic programming functionalities through Scout's adventures. • If you have a shorter class time, split the lesson into 2 classes. Complete Chapters 1 and 2 on the first day, and Chapters 3 and 4 on the second day.
