How the activity runs
The learning connection
By using coding tools like Scratch, students engage in Bruner's CPA approach, where they first create visual scenes (concrete), then arrange them (pictorial), and finally write code (abstract). This scaffolding helps solidify their understanding of programming concepts while keeping them creatively engaged.
Try it with your learner
1. Open Scratch or any coding platform. 2. Create a new project and choose a backdrop for your story. 3. Add characters (sprites) and design their actions using simple code blocks. 4. Write dialogue for each character using speech bubbles. 5. Test your story by clicking the green flag to see how it plays out. 6. Share your interactive story with family and gather feedback!
