Intro to Python: Text-Based Coding (Grades 5-8)
Lesson 2- Variables & Input Function
In this 3-5 day lesson, students will return to the fundamentals of Python, continuing with the print function, but adding key components such as variables and using the input function. Using this knowledge, students will create their very own, interactive Mad Lib Game Program. This lesson is perfect for coding beginners, no prior experience is needed- just a curiosity to learn!
What's Included:
- A 18-page Google Slides presentation that breaks down key concepts with clear, step-by-step visuals and examples of Python code.
- Printable Google Doc worksheets to reinforce learning.
- A real-world example to show students how Python code looks in action.
- Access to an online coding environment designed for educational use. This browser-based tool works on any device, allowing students to code directly in their web browser- no software installation required!
This lesson aligns with Common Core Standards W. CCR. 6 and SL. CCR. 5, ensuring your students are building essential tech and digital media skills. Plus, the lesson is packed with external resources and hyperlinks to keep your students engaged beyond the classroom.
Key features include:
- Detailed images of real Python code to help students visualize and understand concepts.
- Easy-to-follow content that even beginners can grasp.
- A program evaluation rubric to help assess student progress.
With the built-in online coding platform, students can practice coding anytime, anywhere, using any device. Whether it’s for a quick 1-day intro or a 3-day deeper dive, this lesson is the perfect start to their coding journey!
If you find any errors or have questions, please use the Questions & Answers tab- I’m always happy to help.
