We’re offering a semester-long model of CSD in our high-school setting (2-3-4), and my students are going to start Unit 4 next week…this will be the first time I attempt taking on Unit 4. That said, I spent a long time going over the resources we have available through [Code.org](http://Code.org), as well as numerous modified adaptations offered by people in this forum (many of which I’ve found very useful), but I still felt I needed something more to raise the bar a bit and get kids excited about this.

The first resource I decided to tap was this:

> **[Create an app in 10 sessions](http://beta.appsforgood.org/courses/create-an-app-in-10-sessions)**
>
> Perfect for curriculum, enrichment, or an after school club. Deliver in a couple of days, or over a term.

A quick link to a downloadable version of those resources can be found here:

I also borrowed from some of these resources:

All of that said, I’m now in the process of pulling everything together into slides (and related resources) for what will hopefully become a more cohesive package that aligns with the goals and objectives of [Code.org](http://Code.org)’s Unit 4…just notched up a bit to better serve my high school students. Once this (other) curriculum has run its course (in lieu of Lessons 1-11, w/ exception of the User Design activity, which we still do), we will transition back over to Lesson 12 in [Code.org](http://Code.org), though I will still be supplementing Lessons 12-15 w/ some of these “other” resources for sake of continuity, both in terms of lesson design flow as well as keeping everything at the appropriate level (of challenge) for my students. I plan to run the full scope and sequence (once I have everything in place) over a period of three weeks.

Here is a link to my “working folder”: [https://drive.google.com/open?id=15DCMKobvh0aZ1Hy4PhXfcCGiwCofNTyg](https://drive.google.com/open?id=15DCMKobvh0aZ1Hy4PhXfcCGiwCofNTyg)

For anyone who is interested, I will be adding more slides and related resources over the next two weeks (through 5/20/18).

Here is a [link to the slideshow](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1z1d0HEbUj6rzEmMPH9Who-Uku0zN3NFac9flA2ql1sM/edit?usp=sharing) I’ve been working on. It contains links to other resources as well.

My students just finished app lab and their interest was piqued. Thank you for sharing your resources!

Hi JPauley,

I wanted to follow-up with you about this Unit 4 supplement. I will begin Unit 4 next week with my high schoolers, and this material is a wonderful supplement to [code.org](http://code.org). I was wondering what the pacing of this project is for your students, and if there are things that you have altered after having taught it.

I am a business teacher at a small high school and this is one of my many preps, so I appreciate all that you’ve shared! Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! Abby

I took your content and combined it with the [code.org](http://code.org) slides. Here’s the link if this is helpful to anyone.

Thanks JPauley for sharing–this is great content that boosts this unit 4 content more towards the high school level: [LINK](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1RxSh0DsPeooe8CYDn9Qo81Tzs0ZaFb2H6d-7c1LfRPs/copy)
