Key Points

In this lesson, students will take a coding challenge. The assessment is being used to get a sense of student mastery and see what they are able to code independently. This data can be used to inform instruction within your program and is used at a national level to get a grasp of student mastery, and make adjustments to the curriculum as needed.

• ⏰ Do Now (2) :

  • Students should open up the reference table and the W3Schools to get ready for the challenge.
    
    

• 🎯 Challenge Overview (5) :

  • Explain what the challenge will look like, and what resources students will be able to use to complete the challenge. Do not spend over 5 minutes on this section if you have a particularly short class (40 minutes or less).
    
    

• 👾 Coding Challenge (20-30) :

  • Students will take the coding challenge. Make sure to circulate around the room to be able to support students as needed. For the open-ended question, make sure students complete all of the tasks.
