Content Area: Computer Science
Grade Range: K–2
Concept: Algorithms & Programming
Subconcept: Program Development
Practice(s): Creating Computational Artifacts, Communicating About Computing (5.1, 7.2)

Standard:
Develop plans that describe a program’s sequence of events, goals, and expected outcomes.

Descriptive Statement:
Creating a plan for what a program will do clarifies the steps that will be needed to create the program and can be used to check if a program runs as expected. Students create a planning document to illustrate their program's sequence of events, goals, and expected outcomes of what their program will do. Planning documents could include a story map, a storyboard, or a sequential graphic organizer, to illustrate their program's sequence of events, goals, and expected outcomes of what their program will do. Students at this level may complete the planning process with help from the teacher. For example, students could create a storyboard or timeline that represents a family's history, leading to their current location of residence. Students could then create a plan for a program that animates the story of family locations. (HSS 2.1.1) (CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy W.K.3, W.1.3, W.2.3)
