I think the first JavaScript lesson covers too much ground—the stated objective is to learn how to "create, instantiate, and edit variables in JavaScript", but many other topics are covered, such as:

  • What JavaScript is
  • Strings, Numbers, the concept of types
  • Arithmetic operators
  • Order of operations

So, I’ve extracted those ideas into a proposed precursor lesson which introduces JavaScript without yet bringing in the concept of variables.

Reworked first lesson plan based on structure used successfully at GWHS,
with focus on values, expressions, and the relationship between the two.
* Tie it back in to values & expressions lesson
* Spell out steps for declaring a variable and assigning it a value
* Practice using variables in expressions
