Suggestions for good projects?

["Russell, Ken" <krussell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello logo people,

I was recently given the assignment of teaching a once a month 2 hour class to 
6th and 7th HCL students (highly capable learners). I am trying to put 
together a curriculum of 5 sessions for two hours each. 

The first project I developed taught basic turtle commands and procedures. Of 
course, the students loved it. I plan to post my projects to a web page 
(www.bham.wednet.edu/studentgal/HCLP/ Warning--this site is still under 
construction and I haven't figured out yet why my last project creates an 
error message when downloading--I will fix that soon). I hope to eventually 
have all the projects that I use posted there to share with other logo 
teachers. 

I am looking for sources and ideas for four more projects that would build on 
each other and be challenging to HCL students. In the next project I am hoping 
to include variables, more commands, and ???. The project should be doable in 
2 hours and challenging for a group of smart kids (but not too challenging for 
the non-HCL teacher!). 

If anyone on this forum has suggestions for sources of good projects that meet 
these requirements or for specific projects that that are available online and 
that are appropriate for this age and ability group, I would appreciate 
hearing about them. 

Thanks very much in advance!
