This analog coding game teaches digital skills! Building on the success of Learning Resources' Code & Go Robot Mouse(#13262), this fun board game pairs hands-on play with strategies based on fundamental coding concepts.

Two to four players take on the roles of rival mice in the hunt for blocks of delicious cheese scattered around the game board. On each turn, players draw coding cards that they string together into sequences of commands to 'compute' their way toward those tempting cheesy wedges. To get there, they'll have to navigate around maze walls that block their paths, and towards warp tunnels that speed up their journeys.

The player who collects the most cheese wedges at the end of the game wins, but all players come away with new skills and understanding-in addition to the coding component, each game is built around STEM skills including problem solving and critical thinking.

A one-semester course for grades 3 or 4 and up

Students are often expected to write with no clear model before them.

Modern composition scolds traditional writing instruction as rote and unimaginative.

It takes imitation to task for a lack of freedom and personal expression. And yet, effective communication from writer to reader always requires some sort of form and structure.

Many of history’s greatest writers learned by imitation.

In other words, writing takes the same kind of determined study as ballet or diving.

Creativity uses conventional form as a stage or a springboard from which to launch grand jetés and somersaults.

Too often students are expected to tackle complex writing assignments without learning the necessary intermediate steps.

The Writing & Rhetoric series method employs fluent reading, careful listening, models for imitation, and progressive steps.

 Each exercise is intended to impart a skill (or tool) that can be employed in all kinds of writing and speaking.

The exercises are arranged from simple to more complex. What’s more, the exercises are cumulative, meaning that later exercises incorporate the skills acquired in preceding exercises.

This series is a step-by-step apprenticeship in the art of writing and rhetoric.
