Show Your Learning

Active Share

• Have students share their debugged projects with the class by showing their Coder and robot setup, and explain how they used the Step button to identify, find, and fix the bug to make the robot drive to its seat. 
• Facilitate conversations about the debugging process, by asking questions like: 
  • How did your group find the bug in your project? 
  • How did your group decide which Coder card to use to fix the bug? Did you test more than one idea? 
  • How did you use the Step button to help you debug the project? 
• If a group debugged more than one project, have them choose which project to share with the group. Be sure they explain the setup and how they identified, found, and fixed the bug in the project before showing the solution. ​

Discussion Prompts

Digital Documentation

• Record audio or video recordings of students explaining each step of the Identify – Find – Fix process, and share them with your classroom and school community, to show how students are making sense of the concept of a bug, and the process of debugging for themselves.

Student-Driven Visible Thinking

• As a whole class, or in their groups, have students draw or write to create a poster of the Identify – Find – Fix debugging process. Hang these in your classroom so students can reference them any time they need to debug a project, so that they can reflect on their own experiences and apply their learning in other projects and challenges.

Metacognition-Reflecting Together

• How would you explain what a bug in a coding project is to someone who had never heard of a bug? 
• What will you do the next time you find a bug in your project? What did you learn that will help you debug in the future? 
• What if you have more than one bug in your project? How do you think you would use the debugging process to solve the problem? 
• What is one thing that your group did today that helped you debug together?
