In this Scratch lesson, students will explore the motion menu to change an actor's size, location, and orientation. They will complete exercises moving and orienting a sprite using go to and glide instructions. For an assignment, students are asked to create programs that locate a sprite's position and orientation, and move it between positions when the green flag is clicked.
