Scratch: Historical Figures

Scratch creation

Students

Learning about a historical figure from your local community or a specific territory/society? Why not create a short story about them and what they did to change/ contribute to society using Scratch?

Here is a student booklet to help you plan your scenario or story.

 

Teachers

In this open-ended activity, students will research a historical figure and program a short scenario about what they learned. Students could research someone from a particular territory or society they are learning about. They could also program a story related to a specific historic event.

Students could build a scenario from ‘scratch’ or remix a previously created project available on the ‘Explore” section of the Scratch website. 

Here is the student booklet by RECITUS/CSSEnergie. It contains an example assessment rubric.  Note that you or your students can copy that document to write in it or edit it.
