Students are always excited to learn about the sea! Living by the coast puts us at a great advantage for students to be able to connect their learning to their experience. During this unit, By the Sea, students will begin to investigate life by the sea and what makes it so interesting. They will explore topics about sea life and how human interaction can play a role in life by the sea. Retelling A Story with Codeable CraftsAfter students have read a story about life by the sea, provide the opportunity to retell the story and/or identify elements of the story (problem, solution, characters, etc.) with Codeable Crafts. Codeable Crafts is an app for kids to create their imaginative stories by drawing and coding. You can find out more here. Prior to students creating and coding their responses, provide time for students to organize their thinking in a graphic organizer or acting out and recording their thoughts. This will also be beneficial if this is an activity that will be done over a period of time or in a setting where the students will be working on it one day and revisiting it at a later date. It may also be helpful to allow students to work in pair or groups for publishing a digital product.
