Forward and Reverse Exploration

These steps are very important because they will begin almost all programming explorations.
For example you can say, “Let’s pause here for a moment. As a group summarize the steps
we just completed. Record your summary in your engineering notebook.”

Remind the students that each group should have someone in the Recorder role. Allow
students approximately 5 - 10 minutes to summarize the steps. If time allows, ask each
group to share their summary. An example of what the summary could look like:

 Open the file menu
 Select examples

 Choose a template
 Name the project

 Save the project
