Share & Reflect: Have students share one word or phrase about what they are excited about for Scratch club.
Distribute intro letter you wrote and collect nametags

This is what we did in the first week

Now write this lesson plan for me for this week 
Week ___: Title: _________________________ (summarizing this week’s Club) 
(Think - what is the OVERALL goal.  “Using Loops”  or “Broadcasting with Sprites” or “Final Project work time”)
Actual Attendance: 

Setup & Prep
Is there anything you have to do before the club to make sure you are ready. This may include creating a Scratch Studio, collecting materials, etc.

Lesson Plan
This should be VERY detailed.  It should include what you and the students are doing for the entire club. The plan needs to include:  
Objectives Your goals for what the students will learn from this lesson. Students will be exposed to or do the following 3-7 objectives:
X
Y
Z
Materials and Resources 
What do you need to bring to the club?
What do you need to present from your laptop?
What handouts do you need to give to each student? 
Note: Okay to list as links for now (that are visible to anyone with the link), but in your portfolio it is useful to include actual documents.
Community Building: How are you building community within your club? This will look different at the beginning of the semester as you are getting to know each other than the end when you have built a learning community. You can use activities from our lecture or you can find other activities on your own. 
Unplugged Activity & Scratch Lesson A top to bottom detail description of your lesson including, but not limited to:
Which UW student is responsible for which steps?
What exactly will you do to teach your objectives; list all the steps with enough detail that someone else could replicate your club. 
What questions will you ask the students to keep them engaged and evaluate whether or not they are understanding?
Include ideas for transitions between activities. (Yes, plan for how you will move between unplugged and plugged activities)
Closing Reflection Students should have the opportunity to reflect on what they just did and learned at the end of a session and give you a chance for formative assessment. Plan to spend at least 5 minutes at the end doing:
Quick Share: Have each student share something out loud to the group such as:
One thing that went well and one thing that they would do differently.
One rose (good thing), thorn (struggle), and bud (hope for next time).
Exit Ticket: Have students fill out a single question on a piece of paper at the end of the club with a highlight, lesson learned, or something else.  
Measure of Success 
Formative assessment strategies (we will talk about this more down the road.  These are not tests or quizzes, but tools that you can use to assess learning in the moment)

Check & Revise Your Lesson Plan
After you make your plan, use the following checklist to review what you have. Discuss as a facilitation team, and make updates to your plan.
Measures of Success
How will you know that you met your objectives?
What would you look for that is an indicator that students learned, or are starting to learn what you taught?
Creative Learning Check: You might not have all 4 P’s each week, but some should be present each week and there should be opportunities for all of them over the course of the club.
Projects: Do the students have the opportunity to work on meaningful projects – generating new ideas, designing prototypes, refining iteratively?
Passions: Do the students have the opportunity to work on a project they care about?
Peers: Do students have the opportunity to share, collaborate or build on each others’ ideas?
Play: Do students have the opportunity to experiment, try new things, tinker with ideas, and iterate?
Extensions and Adaptations:
How will you engage students who already have experience with the topics or ideas you are introducing today?
How will you engage students who are struggling to understand the concepts?
