[MWForum]Introducing MW @.0

[Gary McCallister]

1.  How old are your students?  That makes a big difference.  (If they =
don't know the alphabet they can't use the keyboard very well, etc.)  All =
students need to have a few primitives available to get started.  Things =
like fd, bk, pu, pd, rt, lt etc. are pretty necessary.  I personaly teach =
quite a few more primitives and give them instructor designed projects for =
awhile before asking them to create their own projects. =20
2.   There is a book from terrapin called 101 Ideas for Logo that presents =
a bunch of graded projects that are good to select from.
3.  Public school children in about the thrid grade do well in MW doing =
animated story books.

How good it is to see that there is life in turtle
land! Perhaps now would be a good opportunity to
repost my prior question... but to open the parameters
a bit.

I am new to MW and am looking for some basic starter
project suggestions for grades 4-6. Something that
will light the imaginative fires of the students as
well as their teachers.

What is the best way to present MW as a brand new
tool. I mentioned that I am in a Montessori school,
and I suspect that may have been responsible for the
lack of suggestions, but it is important that MW get a
good launch in order to getpast the skeptics!!

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Lauren
