5. Procedures
1) Introducing the open house.
- Everyone, we are going to have a party at this clubhouse this Friday evening. The party is called, “an 
  open house.” We’ll invite your families to the open house, and you’ll show them what you’ve learned 
  and built in this robotics club.

2) Understanding each team. (Bee-Bot and Cubelets)
- For the open house, you’ll choose only one of these two (Bee-Bot or Cubelets) to share with your 
  families and other guests who will come.
- If you choose a Bee-Bot team, you and your friends will create an interesting story about a Bee-Bot, 
  decide a route for the Bee-Bot’s move, draw or build places and things necessary for the Bee-Bot story, 
  and program the Bee-Bot by following the story.
- If you choose a Cubelets team, you’ll build your own robot by using different kinds of Cubelets.

3) Choosing one team. (Bee-Bot or Cubelets)
- Now, please make your mind. Raise your hand if you chose a Bee-Bot team. Raise your hand if you 
  chose a Cubelets team.

4) Watch video clips about other’s Bee-Bot project.
- What was the most interesting thing that the children on this video did with their Bee-Bots?
- How did the children program their Bee-Bots to make them move by following the story?

5) Determine partners.
- To prepare for the open house, you’ll work with your friend. You can work with a partner or you all can 
  work as one group.
- Remember, you need to work with your friend(s) together as a team.

6) Creating Bee-Bot’s story in pairs.
- What is going to be the title of your Bee-Bot story?
- Are there things that your Bee-Bot avoid?

7) Plan to make and decorate a grid based on each story.
(Children use planning paper sheets by drawing each place/person/thing to be placed on the grid and routes their Bee-Bots will take.)

- What place/person/thing do you need to make for this story?
- Where do we place them on the grid?

8) Begin creating grids and things for the story.
- Who wants to make or draw xxxxx?
- What materials do you want to use for making xxxx?

6. Check the Progress of Each Team and Plan for Tomorrow. 
Today, we finished making a story and decorating the grids for the open house.
What role(s) would you like to perform? (Story writer and teller, Programmer, and Stage Director)
