The document outlines a 6-lesson scheme of learning for introducing Year 7 students to programming using Python. The objectives are to learn Python syntax and programming concepts like variables, data types, functions, conditionals, and loops. Each lesson includes an outline, resources, assessment tasks, and literacy focus. The outcomes are graded according to level - all students should understand basics, most write simple programs, and some independently write and adapt more complex programs.
