Teacher Notes

In this lesson, students plan and build a mini personality quiz that personalizes a final message with a text variable.

Before Coding:

  • Have students complete the Pre-Writing Organizer to plan their quiz question, answers, and final message.
  • Show the Example Project so students see how buttons and variables personalize the result.
  • Model a quick, silly quiz to get everyone started.

After Building:

  • Have students test both answers to check that the correct result always shows.
  • Use the Peer Review and Single-Point Rubric for quick, supportive feedback.
  • Encourage students to add fun visuals, characters, or simple sound effects if they have time.

2. Design Your Quiz 💬 (10 mins)

Write one fun question. Choose 2 answer buttons.

3. Code Your First Button 🎮 (10 mins)

Code Overview: Use the Create Text Variables block to create and name one variable.

Use Variable = Value blocks so each button sets the variable correctly.

4. Code Your Second Button 🎮 (10 mins)

Now code the second button. When you click the second button, it should set the text variable to a new word or short sentence

5. Write Your Final Result ✍️ (5 mins)

Write 1–2 lines that use your variable. Put curly brackets around the variables like {{friend_type}}. 

6. Make It Look Awesome 🎨 (5 mins)
