Using Scratch 1.4 for Programming and Control Lesson 1

Using Scratch 1.4 for Programming and Control
Lesson 1

Scratch is a free visual programming language developed by the MIT Media Lab. 

Scratch was created to help young people learn to think creatively, reason systematically

and work collaboratively. 

I have found that some teachers struggle with this, so here is a 16 page book to 

give to students so that they can follow the book and learn how to code.  

All the steps are included.

Lesson 1:

You will understand how to:

 Create a simple script that animates the sprite automatically

 Create a script that allows the user to control the movement of the sprite using

the arrow keys

 Combine the different scripts to work together on the same sprite

 Make the sprite reverse direction

 Edit the stage using the Paint Editor facility within Scratch

 Make the sprite react to the background

 Import a new sprite from the ones available within scratch

 Create and edit new costumes for an existing sprite

 Create a simple script that move the sprite automatically

 Create variables to set the score and the countdown

 Set a sprite to start in a certain position

 Save your work

Have fun!

Microsoft Classroom is where students are always up to date with assignments,
announcements, and grades. Class discussions can happen outside of class,
and teachers have a one-stop shop to create and grade assignments.
Students can track their grades, assignments, participate in conversations, and more.
