Cause and Effect with Codeable Crafts - Workstation
In Unit 5 Courage, students have learned how characters in previous stories have demonstrated courage. After having read the story, The Empty Pot students will be able to understand and express various examples of causes and effects that take place within the story.
To further demonstrate their understanding from the lesson, students will complete, during workstations, an activity in Codeable Crafts. Students will choose a cause and within Codeable Crafts they will select a character to move and answer what the effect is that matches their selected cause.
Codeable Crafts is an app for kids to create their imaginative stories by drawing and coding. With Codeable Crafts, kids can enrich their imagination and creativity, and learn the basic concept of computational thinking.
Here is a Cause and Effect teacher overview, the task card, and the Cause and Effect activity sheet for this activity.
