NOTES: (1) This is an advanced class. We will practice writing phrases and sentences in different cipher codes. (2) There is a basic class that will practice writing words in cipher code. The first 5 to 10 minutes will be for students to introduce themselves. We will start with the QWERTY keyboard-based cipher (e.g., A=Q, B=W, C=E, D=R, E=T, and F=Y). Miss McKinney will guide students on how to write coded messages and how to decode messages. The teacher will demonstrate, then each student will be able to take a turn. Also, we will have timed rounds to see who can solve a coded messages first! If time permits and students are interested in learning other styles of cipher, here is a list of potential other cipher code methods: * Abash * Caesar Shift * Pig Latin * Pig Pen / Tic Tac Toe * Rail Fence * Clock * Dice * Custom (student creates their own)
Learning Goals
Students will practice using computational thinking to write and decode cipher coded phrases and sentences.Other Details
Supply List
Optional: paper and pencil. There are four files for downloading but not necessary to participate in class; rather, more for using after class to practicing creating ciphers and decoding messages.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
