Teach 21: Scratching the Heavens
This lesson sequence is designed to have students learn the mythology of constellations and explore various ways these stories can be shared—from oral traditions and story telling, to written form, to digital media. The final product is a student-designed animation or game created using Scratch, a multimedia tool/programming language used to create animations, games, interactive stories, and art.
