Use this session to review the concepts covered so far, and check in with students individually. This session will also be a chance to have some fun and have everybody get to know each other a little better.
There are no particular learning objectives for this session. Students should have a chance to:
- Review concepts from previous sessions
- Interact socially
The main focus will be the check-ins.
This time will be very free, but it will be important for every student to at least try to review/practice a little bit. There are a number of things they can do.
Present each of these options to the students, and then let them decide what they would like to do!
Students can follow these instructions to work on some additional challenges - some are from previous lessons, and some are online & interactive.
There is a Library of videos and articles for the students to peruse. Some of them are directly related to the course material, and some are only somewhat relevant. If there is interest, some of the videos could be projected for the entire class to view. If a student wants to watch a video on their own, they should use headphones.
If a student wants to spend some time brainstorming final project ideas, or even starting to build something, they should be welcome to do that! They will be required to incorporate concepts that have yet to be learned, but they can start thinking and tinkering if they want.
If the students complete enough of the review activities satisfactorily, there should be some time for games. Gartic Phone or Drawasaurus are recommended, but feel free to take suggestions from the students about what they'd like to play!
These games can take place while check-ins continue.
Hopefully, all check-ins will be completed with some time to spare at the end. At that point, bring everybody together and facilitate the Baamboozle Team Quiz. The students should split into two teams, and the instructor should click through questions. Note that Baamboozle is very unfair when using power-ups, and the best team may not win - but that's okay!
