Introducing MW @.0

[mwforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Gary McCallister)]

1.  How old are your students?  That makes a big difference.  (If they don't 
know the alphabet they can't use the keyboard very well, etc.)  All students 
need to have a few primitives available to get started.  Things like fd, bk, 
pu, pd, rt, lt etc. are pretty necessary.  I personaly teach quite a few more 
primitives and give them instructor designed projects for awhile before asking 
them to create their own projects. =20
2.   There is a book from terrapin called 101 Ideas for Logo that presents a 
bunch of graded projects that are good to select from.
3.  Public school children in about the thrid grade do well in MW doing 
animated story books.

How good it is to see that there is life in turtle
land! Perhaps now would be a good opportunity to
repost my prior question... but to open the parameters
a bit.

I am new to MW and am looking for some basic starter
project suggestions for grades 4-6. Something that
will light the imaginative fires of the students as
well as their teachers.

What is the best way to present MW as a brand new
tool. I mentioned that I am in a Montessori school,
and I suspect that may have been responsible for the
lack of suggestions, but it is important that MW get a
good launch in order to getpast the skeptics!!

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Lauren
