Project 8: Alice
For our next look at coding this year in the 7th grade at Scofield Magnet Middle School, we will be
using a slightly more complex environment that was created at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, called Alice.We are using the most recent version and it is certainly more of a
challenge than Scratch, but once you begin to understand the program you can actually create
3D animated videos.
Here is where YOU can locate Alice, if you would like to try it home. Remember to check with your parents when downloading and ONLY use Alice.org as the location to download it – nowhere else!
https://www.alice.org/
We have been using Alice as a programming tool for nine years here at Scofield and have had some excellent results. Since we are a technology school, every student uses Alice here at Scofield MMS.
We are using Alice versions 3.1 and 3.2. The current version that is available is 3.3 if you want to try
this at home.
Basic Requirements:

Project 5: Tech/ Digital Literacy & Art/ Masks
Mrs. Beutler & Ms. Robertson are sharing classrooms! Students have been working in the Tech Lab with Ms. Robertson on a lesson about Digital Literacy. On March 4, students will begin working with Mrs. Beutler in the Art room. They will learn about sculpture by making a stylized mask using plaster gauze to cast a mask, referring to the style of Carnival Masks. Students will discuss Carnival Masks noting the emphasis on fantasy, stylization, and the abstraction of features. They will learn how masks are used throughout history and in various civilizations. They will begin this project by researching masks from their own culture or from another culture on the Internet. They will select one to use as their “inspiration mask” in art, and changed it in some fashion to personalize their mask.
Digital Literacy Due: Friday, 3/1/2019
Masks Due: Friday, 3/15/2019
