Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to apply library skills to enhance your computer coding knowledge.

Materials and Prep

• A computer or laptop
• An internet connection
• A library card (optional)
• Paper and pencil

Activities

1. Research coding languages:

   Use the internet to research different coding languages. Take notes on their features and applications.

2. Library visit:

   If you have a library card, visit your local library's website and explore their online resources related to computer coding. If you don't have a library card, you can still use online resources such as coding tutorials and eBooks.

3. Create a coding glossary:

   Using your notes and research, create a glossary of coding terms and their definitions. Include at least 10 terms.

4. Write a coding story:

   Imagine you are a character in a coding adventure. Write a short story that incorporates coding concepts and terms from your glossary.

Fourth Grade Talking Points

• "In today's lesson, we will explore how library skills can enhance our computer coding knowledge."
• "We will start by researching different coding languages to understand their features and applications."
• "Next, we will visit the library's online resources related to computer coding. If you don't have a library card, don't worry, you can still find coding tutorials and eBooks online."
• "After our research, we will create a glossary of coding terms and their definitions. This will help us understand the language of coding better."
• "Finally, we will use our coding knowledge to write a short story, incorporating coding concepts and terms from our glossary. It will be a coding adventure!"
