Dance Commands: Creating Move Algorithms

In this lesson, you'll guide students through understanding algorithms via interactive activities. Begin by explaining algorithms using a slideshow, then transition into creating "dance algorithms". Students will suggest dance moves to form a class dance routine. Afterwards, they'll work in small groups to create their own dance routines. The lesson concludes with a reflection on the importance of algorithms in coding.
