may be determined by how you plan to facilitate the exercise and the skill level of your students. Exercise Facilitation There are several options for how to allow the participants to explore using control sturctures and apply their new understanding and skills. Option 1 (Open Student Work Session) With groups that do well independently you may choose to have them build a scene of their own design, assign them one (or several) of the provided challenge exercises (linked on website page associated with this lesson), or allow them to select an exercise or project from the list provided. Note that the guided tutorial exercise (Scene Building Tutorial) provides the most scaffolding for students that may need that level of support and direction. Additionally, you might want to provide them with access to the scene editor How To… materials to support them. Option 2 (Guided Work Session Directions) – For more structure, you may decide you want to assign the students the tutorial exercise for this lesson. The tutorial exercise provides step-by-step directions for guiding the participants through building a scene that points them to the correlating How To… materials at the appropriate points. This exercise also guarantees that they will explore all the different methods that can be used for each skill in the process of completing the exercise. You can point the students to the web page for the exercise or print out the associated directions. Option 3 (Guided Work Session Instructor Led) – For the most structured and supported format, you may break the session up into smaller segments or Modules. Each module includes demonstrating more in depth each skill before having the participants apply them through the activity. This format also provides more break points to check in with participants. Detailed step-by-step guide provided below. You can approach this in two ways Play the more general How To… videos or demonstrate the skills and then allow participants to then follow the step-by-step directions for the module,
