Choice Board
Choice Board Examples & Strategies
Use the Choice Board to allow students to display their voice and choice within their learning. The Choice Board can be used in multiple ways by the teacher to:
- Engage students who finish early
- Assess what students have learned at different points throughout the Unit
- Extend the Unit or lesson
- Allow students to display their learning in the Share section
The Choice Board is intended to provide content that can be added to the classroom’s existing Choice Board or to any bulletin board in the classroom.
The following is the Choice Board for this Unit:
| Choice Board | ||
|---|---|---|

A New Spot Set your 123 Robot in the center of a Tile, and number the 3 squares in the row above. Code your robot to drive to number 1. What if you wanted to drive to number 3 instead? Find the bug, and fix it to drive to number 3 instead. |
Debugging Deck Make a bug puzzle card! Draw the path your 123 Robot should travel. Build a project with a bug in it, and write it down. Find and fix the bug, and write the debugged code on the back. Share your puzzle with a friend to see if they can find the bug too! |
Bugging Out Use the Art Ring to turn your 123 Robot into a bug. Code your 'bug' to travel from one corner of the Tile to the opposite corner. Test your project. Is there a bug in your code? Find and fix the bug! |
|
Bug Journal Draw or write a journal entry about a time you debugged a project successfully. How you find and fix the bug? How did it feel to debug your project successfully? |
Poster the Process Make your own poster of the debugging process. Draw or write about each step - Identify, Find, Fix - to help you remember how to debug a project when your robot doesn't do what you wanted it to do. |
Step to It Draw or write the sequence of behaviors you would need to bring a book from your seat to the bookshelf. Step through your 'code', and do each behavior one at a time. Are there bugs in your code? Use the debugging process to find and fix them. |
