### Introduction
1. Grab student attention by showing Presentation: Animations in Roblox - Slide 2.
- Students will create their own animation that will be included in their obstacle course.
- Ask students to verbally offer some animation ideas for their games (ex: flying, skipping, etc).
2. After creating an animation, will get feedback on their animation from a peer to help them improve it. Remind that this is another opportunity to practice civility both online and in-person.
### Plan an animation
1. Lead students through Presentation: Animations in Roblox - Slide 3-4.
- As a class, have students brainstorm actions (ex: real life actions/sports like swimming or dancing, or fantastical like flying.
- Have students create a goal for their animation (make a silly walk, create a cool superhero flying animation, etc). Goals will be used for the feedback activity.
- Give students 2-4 minutes to decide on an animation and collect reference material (either images or have them act out motions in real life).
2. Recap by letting 2-3 students share their planned animation.
### Design an animation
1. Lead students through the following tutorial: <a href="../../../tutorials/curriculums/animator/index.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Animation lesson</a>.
- Note that this lesson uses a template which is not needed. Students will build this in their obstacle course experience.
- Skip any pages referring to Challenge Checkpoints.
- Slides are provided to help you throughout the tutorial.
### Add animations
1. Explain that students will use their exported animation as their players' walk
2. Use instructions in Presentation: Animations in Roblox - Slide 10 - 11.
- Have students add the Animation Swap Script into their project, replace the animation ID in the script, and test to ensure their animation was replaced.
3. Ensure students have time to test out their animations.
- If student animations aren't working, have them repeat the process.
- For any students that are finished, have them help others.
### Feedback and redesign
1. Provide students the Handout: Animation Feedback.
- Remind students about practicing civility in earlier sessions. Recap some guidelines if needed, or best practices in providing and receiving feedback.
2. Have students show an animation to another peer (either by switching seats or screen-sharing if remote). Peers will fill out the hand out to offer feedback and a recommendation.
3. When students have finished offering feedback, take a moment to discuss the value of feedback. Note they may not agree with feedback, but it's a valuable opportunity for them to grow.
4. Give students time to implement an idea they had after receiving feedback.
### Wrap up
1. Recap what students have created and vocabulary: animation and keypose.
2. Have students end the class by doing the pose they created in-game (if possible).

### Introduction
1. Outline the session.
- Will first learn about digital citizenship and how to intervene in cyberbullying.
- Rest of the time will be devoted to improving their projects, ending with a feedback opportunity where they'll get to player each other's experiences.
### Digital citizenship
1. Go through the lesson <a href="../../../education/resources/intro-to-digital-civility.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Intro to Digital Civility</a>.
2. Guide students in an activity to practice upstanding.
- Depending on your class, either do everything as a class or form small student groups (2-3 students).
- Explain that students will hear different situations that they might see in an experience online. They'll listen and will practice a response.
- Go through prompts in the Resource: Upstander Roleplay Situations and have students verbally roleplay their response.
### Work on projects
1. If needed, continue teaching any other lessons from the previous day.
2. Inform students they'll have this time to improve their projects.
- While students work, encourage them to play-test (for at most one minute). Experiences should be challenging, but fun.
3. In the last five minutes, make sure students can play each other's projects.
- If in person, they can just trade seats.
- If remote, have students make their games public so others can play by sharing links.
### Project feedback
1. Open Presentation: Project Feedback and pass out Handout: Project Feedback to each student. This
- Explain the process of playtesting and getting feedback in slides 2-3.
- Connect to digital citizenship - ask students what are some ways they can practice being a good citizen while sharing and getting feedback (ex: Be open-minded with different experiences, don't pressure others to change their projects, etc).
2. Have students play each other's project for about five minutes, then write down feedback for their peer.
3. Reconvene as a class and have 2-3 students share a piece of feedback they received.
4. Have students reflect on making one change in their experience and write it down on the handout.
- Will make that change tomorrow.
- Have students pair up and share the change they'll make.
### Wrap up
1. Recap what students have created and the vocabulary term: **upstander**.
2. Have students connect giving feedback outside the classroom (online games, sports, talking with family). Remind that good online behavior is just like real life behavior. Ask these questions to start.
- What are good or bad examples of giving someone feedback? Why?
- What are good or bad examples of accepting feedback? How should you react or respond well when receiving feedback?

### Lesson Plan
#### Introduction
1. Explain today's session will be different mini-projects to develop skills in scripting.
#### Guided tutorial - Work with properties
1. Lead students through the following tutorials:
- [Object Properties](../../../tutorials/fundamentals/coding-1/object-properties.md)
- [Parents and Children](../../../tutorials/fundamentals/coding-1/parents-and-children.md)
2. Encourage students to troubleshoot independently if they have an error. To help, have them try:
- Redoing their last few steps.
- Asking a peer for help.
3. As students write code, check that students write comments that accurately describe the code.
- Not Specific: Runs code
- Improved: Changes color of PracticePart
#### Guided tutorial - Code a trap
1. Lead students through the following tutorials:
- [Code a function](../../../tutorials/fundamentals/coding-2/code-a-function.md)
- [Intro to if statements](../../../tutorials/fundamentals/coding-3/intro-to-if-statements.md)
- [Traps with if statements](../../../tutorials/fundamentals/coding-3/traps-with-if-statements.md)
2. When working with if statements, check that students indent code to look like code samples. This helps make the code more readable, which becomes important as scripts grow larger.
#### Wrap-up
1. Recap what students have created and vocabulary: **property**, **loop**, and **function**.
### Appendix
### Troubleshooting and classroom tips
- While coding, remind students to double-check their capitalization or ask a peer to check their work. Even one incorrect letter can cause an error in longer words like `FindFirstChildWhichIsA`.
- Try the following below to help students develop troubleshooting skills.
- Purposely make a mistake in your code and ask students to identify the error. This can be easily turned into a game with students as you challenge them to find the error in a limited amount of time.
- Write a partial line of code and ask students to complete it.
- Utilize 'Ask 3 Before Me' where students ask three peers before asking the teacher for help. It's important for students to become comfortable independently troubleshooting as they advance to more complex projects.

### Introduction
1. Explain that today is an opportunity to catch up or further develop their project.
2. Regardless of what students work, will want to evaluate and redesign their game to meet specific goals:
- **Fun** - players enjoy playing, want to keep playing.
- **Challenging** - players are challenge but not punished or overly frustrated.
- **Error-free** - no script errors, unusual looking parts/visuals, etc.
### Wrap up the project
1. Explain that students have this time to make improvements before getting feedback.
- Emphasize that improvements should be small (e.g. tweaking a current part of the obstacle course rather than adding new parts).
- If unclear what to work on, ask students to self-evaluate against the three goals (fun, challenging, errors) and look for something to improve.
### Wrap up and showcase
1. Wrap up by leading a class discussion. Ask one of more of the below prompts.
- One thing that was challenging but how they overcame it.
- Something they're proud of in their experience and why.
- An example of how another student helped them improve their project.
2. Recap learning about digital citizenship and civility this week.
- Ask a few ways students can practice being a digital citizen or stay safe. Some ideas: standing up if someone is being bullied, helping others, spotting unreliable information.
3. Showcase student work. Some options are below.
- Students can make games public and then share links to peers to try out.
- Select 2-3 student projects and play them as a class. Either have one student show their game at their computer, or you get a link to play a project at your computer.

### Introduction
1. Grab student attention by showing them some of the before/after pictures and videos on the <a href="../../../environment/post-processing-effects.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Post Processing Effects</a> page.
2. Outline the session.
- Students will start by implementing feedback from the last session.
- Next will be a brief lesson on how to add post-processing effects, a type of special effect. Rest of class time will be used on projects.
### Implement feedback
1. Remind students about giving each other feedback using the handout. They will now take time to make a change in their project based off the goal they wrote down in the previous session.
2. Help students 1 on 1 if they're reluctant to make changes on feedback. Remind them making changes can help their experience.
### Post processing effects
1. Before giving more work time, going to show students how to improve their projects's look and feel.
2. Point out students don't need to use their computers during this lesson, they just need to follow along with you.
3. Show students the different post processing effects available in <a href="../../../environment/post-processing-effects.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Post Processing Effects</a>.
- In this case, just show students where they can add an effect and explain each one. Students can independently explore each one in the next activity. Students don't need to directly follow along.
### Work on projects
1. Introduce Ask 3 Before Me - students ask 3 peers for help before asking the teacher. Call out this as an opportunity for digital citizenship and upstanding - if someone sees another struggling, ask if you can help.
2. Explain that students can use this time to either continue working on their obstacle course or to add special effects.
### Wrap up
1. Recap what students have created and vocabulary: **Post Processing Effect**.
2. To showcase work, have students trade seats with a partner and let them explore their world.
