This document provides an introduction and overview of different controls and blocks in the Scratch programming environment. It explains that sprites represent characters that can be controlled, and backgrounds provide the setting. Programming in Scratch involves stacking control blocks on top of each other to determine the order of events. The final project requires using at least 7 of the 8 controls and including 2 sprites. Controls covered include motion, looks, sensing user input, sound, operators, pen, and variables.

1. Intro to Scratch Mrs. Forsyth April 16, 2010

2. Scratch Review Sprite: Your character(s) which you can control In this case, it is a cat Background: Background of your project In this case, play field

3. Scratch Review To program, think of lego blocks: Stack the controls on top of each other What is on top goes first If you put a forever loop on it, the script will repeat itself forever

4. Motion Review Motion allows you to control your sprite's movement

5. Final Project – Due 4/30 Have your script have at least 7 of the 8 controls Have at least 2 sprites We will share these online

6. Control Review Control allows us to determine when the script can run It also can give us conditional control over our sprite with the if loops

7. Looks Review We control the look of the sprite here (costume, color, size) We can also make the sprite talk

8. Sensing Review This is the sprite's senses what happens when the sprite touches another sprite what happens when you press a key We can gather some input from the user

9. Sound Review This is the sprite's sounds and how we can control it

10. Operators Review Here we can play with some operators If you are doing math with your sprite If you are getting input from the user

11. Pen Review Use this to click and draw

12. Variables Review Advanced Use this to add more control over your spite
