Scratch: Backdrops

The Stage can change just like the sprites can change. To initialize a sprite in a scene you set an event button, such as "when green flag is clicked". You could use scene changes for any movie. People use backdrops to change between scenes.

Scratch: Conversations

A broadcast allows you to create conversations with logical timing. You would use "timing" in a project for things such an action. You would use "broadcasting" with a conversation.

Scratch: Characters

Make a block is a way to create your own sequence of actions. oiu would use "make a block" if you were going to make a very long sequence of actions because "make a block" allows you to put all that information into one block

Scratch: Reflection to Debugging

One debugging strategy I used was experimenting with different blocks to see how they changed the project and tried to find what blocks would fix the projects. I would help someone else learn how to debug by showing them how the different blocks change the project.

scratch 2 10 Block challenge

This activity helped me learn scratch because I was able to create something that was my own but I had some guidance. The 10 Block didn't really restraint my ideas because what I had in mind only incorporated a mixture of the 10 Blocks.

Scratch Try it

We started learning about scratch.
Reflection...
It was surprising how little the character moved, you had to have a very high number to make it move far.
It was very helpful to be led through the activity step by step.
I think that we had a good amount of structure while learning how to work scratch.
I would like to have more freedom when we are making our own projects.
I feel very creative when we get to create our own projects from scratch
