Beaded Bag Lesson Plan

In our Beaded Bag lesson plan, we introduce students to the idea of how natives made beaded items, such as bags, jewelry, etc. In this lesson plan, we try to introduce students to how a computer takes in commands and outputs items or animations. By the end of this lesson, we intend students to understand how a computer reads commands and how to create commands of their own for a computer to understand.
