Description
Students start with a tour of the main interface and then receive step-by-step directions that guide them through:
- triggering a program with an event code block,
- positioning sprites using go to, move, glide, x and y coordinates, turn, and point towards code blocks,
- using control codes such as the wait command and the forever loop,
- using the show and hide code blocks,
- saving their work and submitting projects to a class assignment folder within Scratch.
The editable Google Slides include short embedded videos that demonstrate what the student program should be doing at certain points, and it ends with directions for a culminating activity for students to demonstrate their learning. Screenshots are from Scratch 3.0.
