Content Presentation || CONTENT || EXAMPLES/NONEXAMPLES || PRACTICE ITEMS || FEEDBACK || **3.1 Locate and click on middle box under cat (manila folder)** || The middle box is the location of the sprites. In order to obtain a sprite you must click on it. || Clicking on the middle box will show the sprite categories. Clicking on the box to the left allows you to paint a new sprite. The box to the right gives you a sprite, but the program chooses it. || Open the folder and display sprite categories. || Redisplay the placement of the sprite folder. || **3.2 Choose a category and click on a sprite** || Six sprite categories are given. Within each category are many sprites to choose from. || When you open the folder, six sprite categories will be displayed (animal, fantasy, letters, people, things, and transportation). || Choose a sprite category and open it. || Restate that there are six sprite categories located in the sprite folder. || **3.3 Define //sprite//** || Objects in Scratch that are controlled by scripts. || There are many sprites to choose from or you can create your own. Sprites are different from costumes. With costumes you can change how a sprite looks. || Choose two sprites to add to your stage. || Restate that sprites are different from costumes. || **4.1 Drag a MOVE block into the scripts area.** || Blue graphic blocks are used to give movement instructions to the sprite. || Using blue graphic blocks the teacher will create a script that allows the sprite to walk, glide, and turn. Make all examples as students are watching and only use blue blocks. || Direct students to create a short script using only blue blocks. || Project student examples on the screen. Point out the various ways they have given their sprites movement. || **4.2 Double-click the block to make the sprite move.** || Connecting the blocks into stacks creates a script. When you click on the script, Scratch runs the blocks from the top of the script to the bottom. || The teacher double-clicks on the script to show sprite movement. || Direct students to run their script. || Revisit running scripts. Show an example of a script that works and one that does not. || **4.3 Drag a purple block to add sound.** || Purple graphic blocks are used to give sound instructions to the sprite. || Using purple graphic blocks create a script that gives sound to the sprite. Create all examples while students are watching. || Direct students to create a short script using the purple graphic blocks. || Project student examples on the screen. Point out the various ways students have given sound to their sprites. || **4.4 Connect the blocks and double click to see actions.** || Connecting the blocks into stacks creates a script. When you click on the script, Scratch runs the blocks from the top of the script to the bottom. || The teacher double-clicks on the script to demonstrate sprite sound. || Direct students to run their script. || Revisit running scripts. Show an example of a script that works and one that does not. || **4.5 Continue to add blocks until the sprite completes your task.** || Scratch allows you to continue to add blocks to the script. The more blocks you add the more complex the script becomes. || The teacher combines the sound and movement blocks to create a more complex script. Demonstrate the new script. Non-examples would include scripts that don’t work. || Direct students to create a script that includes two or more actions. || Project student examples. Emphasize the elements that have been combined to make a more complex script. || **9.1 Click the share button and enter login and password** || Clicking the share button will allow students to upload their project to the Scratch site. Login and password information will be given. || Demonstrate uploading a project to Scratch. || Using your login and password share your project. || Using the Scratch website, view student projects that are uploaded. || **9.2 Click ok and your project will upload to Scratch.** || Clicking ok will begin the upload process. || Demonstrate uploading a project to Scratch. || Complete your upload to the Scratch site. || Using the Scratch website, view student projects that are uploaded. ||
