Must teach one topic of school subject well. Show higher levels of programming. See rubric below. ** Plan is due Today 100 points! ** Post it to the top of your wiki page.
Show higher levels of programming. See rubric below Include:
 * What will you teach? Be very specific.
 * How will users interact with the program
 * Describe how the game will work
 * For Games:
 * 1) Object – What is the goal of the game? (ie collect coins, get through the maze, score points, etc.)
 * 2) Operation – How do you play the game? (ie Do you use keyboard keys to move? Press the spacebar to jump or shoot? Move the mouse around? etc.)
 * 3) Obstacles – What’s the challenge that you have to overcome? (ie bad guys, a timer counting down, running out of fuel, life meter, etc.)

The rationale is that it is easier to compare the two options for Rome than it is to compare Paris and Rome.

**Scratch Program Types**

Explore program types. On the front page of your wiki, write a paragraph about the program you will create..

Example: My program will be a test of words in English class (1), such as metaphor. simile, theme, and tone. Users will be asked a question and the answers will be floating around the screen. Users use the mouse to click on the right answer, get a reward and point. If the get one wrong, (3) they are given only one second chance. (2) If they get 10 right, they win and see a dancing chicken. (4)
