Switching from codehs to code.org

Hello,

I am new to code.org and 1st year teacher. We have done the basics in codehs but I was wanting to add some more “interest” in coding. Is there a lesson that I can start the 7th and 8th graders?

Unit 3 (Animations and Games) is probably the most high interest, but it may also be a good idea to start with a few of the early lessons in the Problem Solving Unit (unit 1). It allows them to start some computational thinking practices that will benefit them when they are in unit 3 trying to solve problems and be creative with the games and animations.

Hope this helps!

Mike
