alice-teacher What's the most effective way to teach Alice?

[Diane Shryock]

Hello All:

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
