Syllabus Scratch

This document provides a course description for a middle school software engineering class. The class will use Scratch, a graphical programming language, to teach students basic programming concepts like sequences, loops, variables, and events. Students will learn and apply the software engineering design process to identify problems, develop solutions, test prototypes, and redesign. The goals are for students to appropriately use Scratch to create interactive games and presentations. The course will be graded based on participation, attitude, and classwork.

Computer 6 Software Engineering

Teacher: Charlotte Corbett

Middle School
2007-2008

Course Description: Identify and explain the steps of the software engineering design process
for gaming theory and design. The design process steps are identify the problem; research the
problem; develop possible solutions; select the best possible solution(s); code prototypes and/or
models; test and evaluate; communicate the solutions; and redesign. Using Scratch, a graphical
programming language developed by MIT, students will learn basic programming concepts.
These concepts include linear breakdown of sequences; event handling such as what happens
when the ball reaches the edge of the screen; looping events (while or for x times); cause and
effect; and use of variables.

Goals & Science/Technology Standards Addressed:


1. Identify the need or problem
2. Research the need or problem
3. Develop possible solution(s)
* Brainstorm possible solutions
* Draw on mathematics and science
* Articulate the possible solutions in two and three dimensions
* Refine the possible solutions
4. Select the best possible solution(s)
* Determine which solution(s) best meet(s) the original requirements
5. Construct one or more prototypes and/or models
* Model the selected solution(s) in two and three dimensions
6. Test and evaluate the solution(s)
* Does it work?
* Does it meet the original design constraints?
7. Communicate the solution(s)
* Make an engineering presentation that includes a discussion of how the solution(s) best meet(s)
the needs of the initial problem, opportunity, or need
8. Redesign
* Modify the solution(s) based on information gathered during the tests and presentation

Expected Outcomes: Students will appropriately use Scratch, a programming language, to


create interactive games and multimedia presentations.
