I'm glad you explained more fully what you meant by "lesson plans"; after
raeding the subject line I almost skipped the message!  :-)

Anyway, your kids are younger than the ones I've taught, so I'm not sure
how good my intuitions will be, but I'll give it a shot.  In light of their
bad prior experience, it might be a good idea to look for projects that
really break the mold of square-triangle-house:

	See how fast you can fill the screen solid with ink.

	Try typing wrong things on purpose and see how many different
	kinds of error messages you can collect.

	I've changed the meaning of one of the primitive Logo commands
	[by setting REDEFP]; figure out which one, figure out how I
	changed it, and figure out how to accomplish what it used to do.

Maybe you could have them work in groups, and be sure that each real
beginner is paired with a more experienced kid.

That's all that strikes me offhand...
