+
+**Lesson description**: Introduce students to the course and projects they'll be working on. Then, develop foundational skills such as manipulating parts and creating scripts by creating a simple obstacle course. Once these skills are mastered, students can go on to code an adventure game in later sessions.

+### Lesson plan
+
+#### Introduction
+
+1. Grab student attention by playing an example of the finished
+   [adventure game](https://www.roblox.com/games/9544298367/). This is an example of the type of project they'll have by the end of the course.
+
+   - Explain the game: Players explore a world to collect items and upgrade their backpack.
+   - Call out that students will create and customize the game to their own vision (e.g. collecting cupcakes in a fantasy world or harvesting iron on the moon).
+
+2. Outline the sessions in the course
+
+   - First two sessions focus on developing skills in game design and coding by making practice projects. This will include building an obstacle course.
+   - Will spend rest of sessions developing an adventure game
+
+3. Point out for this session or day, students will be learning the basics of Roblox Studio by building an obstacle course.
+
+   - Note the obstacle course is practice, but the can include parts of it in their adventure game if desired.
+
+#### Guided tutorial - Roblox Studio basics
+
+1. Lead students through the following tutorial: [Introduction to Roblox Studio](../../../tutorials/first-experience/index.md).
+
+2. As you teach, keep in mind the following:
+   - Remind students to rotate their camera view to get an accurate view of their project.
+   - Encourage students to use the Explorer, a foundational skill in Roblox Studio.
+
+#### Guided tutorial - Create scripts
+
+1. Lead students through the [Create a script](../../../tutorials/fundamentals/coding-1/create-a-script.md) tutorial.
+
+#### Wrap up
+
+1. Recap what students have created and vocabulary learned: variable and string.
+
+### Appendix
+
+#### Troubleshooting tips
+
+**General troubleshooting**
+
+- If parts fall or disappear when playtesting, remind students to turn Anchoring on for that part.
+- The most common errors for students at this age are improper capitalization and typos. Encourage students to independently check their work, rather than rely on teachers.
+
+#### Classroom management
+
+- Introduce students to "Ask 3 Before Me": a student needs to ask three peers before asking the instructor for help.
+- Keep in mind students have different prior experience with computers. Emphasize exact steps when teaching, such as when to double-click or right-click.
+- Keep your lessons on time by setting strict limits for accomplishing tasks, such as allowing only a minute to add a single part or to pick a color. To build troubleshooting skills, ask students leading questions rather than solving the issue for them as much as possible. For example: _What symbols need to be around a string? - A quotation marks._
