<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello All:</div><div> </div><div>I have the students go through the tutorials and use the Shelly Cashman book Alice 2.0 and the Duke University tutorials for exercises combined with a final project of retelling your favorite fairy tale or children's book. The final project can be either a group or individual project. I teach this to 8th grade, but am considering moving it down to 7th grade as the students' skills have evolved in the past few years. We use Alice 2.3</div>

</font></div><div><font face="georgia, serif">I am curious to hear from other middle/highschool teachers about how you teach with Alice. Do you have kids work through lessons as self-study? Do you walk through the lessons with them step-by-step on a smart board? Do they go through a lesson and then create a demonstrative world of what they have learned? What have you found to be the most effective?</font><div>
