In this lesson, learners of all ages get an introductory experience with coding and computer science in a safe, supportive environment. This lesson has two versions.

**Option 1: Blocks**

The first option uses drag-drop blocks. This version works best for:

- Students on mobile devices without keyboards
- Younger students (6+ because the tutorial requires reading)
- International students

We recommend this for international students because JavaScript syntax is not translated and for the first Hour of Code, the translated blocks provide a better introduction.

**Option 2: JavaScript**

This option teaches the same basic concepts, but because it uses both drag-drop blocks and JavaScript, the students need to be able to type on a keyboard. For older students on computers, learning JavaScript can be fun and provide an additional challenge. This version of the tutorial is also great if you have some students in your class who have already learned some coding. It is recommended for ages 11+.

This course provides an overview of Asian American history and its relevance for contemporary issues. It covers the first wave of Asian immigration in the 19th century, the rise of anti-Asian movements, the experiences of Asian Americans during WWII, the emergence of the Asian American movement in the 1960s, and the new wave of post–1965 Asian immigration. The class examines the role these experiences played in the formation of Asian American ethnicity. The course addresses key societal issues such as racial stereotyping, media racism, affirmative action, the glass ceiling, the "model minority" syndrome, and anti-Asian harassment or violence. The course is taught in English.

The YouTube Tutorials are completely translated and transcribed in Spanish language and made available for the teachers and students who might benefit from bilingual resources.

The TeacherÕs Guides are designed to assist the educators with descriptions, notes, and lesson plans that are introduced in the YouTube Tutorials.

Activity: Students will be instructed regarding the Japanese community in Utah, emphasizing Japan Town in SLC. Students will be able to view this community via a Google Earth tour. The instructor will review the Japanese Church of Christ, the Salt Lake Buddhist Temple, and end the tour with a look at the Salt Palace Japanese Garden and reviewing photos from the North American Japanese Garden Association. After being able to see an example of Japanese architecture and landscaping, students will create their own Japanese-inspired communities by drawing or dioramas. Purpose: Students will get to learn about the cultural significance of Japanese buildings and landscaping and the significance of Japantown, SLC. Students will solidify their knowledge and show in a creative formative assessment what characterizes Japanese landscaping and architecture.

This lesson plan created by Tanner Dance at the University of Utah includes a video and plan for teaching dance, math, and money. The plan includes a springboard book, a warm up, and various dance/math integration activities.

This is a virtual example of the written lesson plan for elements of dance and counting money

This is a virtual example of the lesson plan about symmetry, angles and perimeter

Students learn the different lengths for each rhythm and understand the length of each rhythm through their movement.

Activity: Students will watch a PBS-sponsored and illustrated video of Hawaiian storyteller Kealoha Kelekolio chronicling the creation story of the Hawaiian island chain. After seeing an example of Pacific storytelling, each student will chronicle their family creation story (or another event of equal importance), emphasizing events of significance or providing an illustration of their family. Students will then share their stories within groups or as a class to experience storytelling as a traditional skill.Purpose: Students will participate in the difficult storytelling process that Pacific Islander communities use to pass along their histories. 

Record all students’ names said by the student and then print out the audio wave was so that each student has a visual of their name wave. Then students will create an audio wave model of their names using proper pen and ink technique and “wet on wet” watercolor.

For this lesson, students will work together to make a large scale pendulum to create works of art as a group. This project is done on a large scale and so it is best to do it outside or in a gymnasium. Students will build the pendulum, using the traffic cones to hold the long board. Students then will attach the string to the center of the board and attach the condiment bottle to the string with the paper clip. The nut or washer will be attached to the string to add weight. (Pieces are large 7-8 feet tall, each class will make 6-7 pieces of art.)

The history of Samoan and Tongan dance is summarized in this media item extracted from the 20-part video series A PEOPLES' HISTORY OF UTAH, written and hosted by Dean L. May, PhD (University of Utah). The series provides a sweeping view of Utah's past, from its earliest known desert beginning--from its prehistory, to the pioneer era, to the transformation from territory to state, to its critical role in the world war years and beyond.
