Let's continue our enthusiasm about coding by creating a Scratch Animation/Story about a Country you selected in Geography class. Below are the 10 topics that your story must have.
-2 physical features and a fact or description about each one
-3 facts about the culture of your country (it could be about languages, music, holidays, foods, clothing or traditions).
-2 important places or landmarks that would be fun for people to visit
-1 fact about what kind of weather to expect
-2 interesting facts of your choice.
Use various backgrounds to tell your story. You can also write in a question and answer conversation format using two or more characters that you will animate. For example: One character says: Do you know what the most popular foods in Japan are? And another character answers the question. You can have one character the the viewer to hit the space bar and maybe some of the food would appear.
Have fun, be creative and show off your new programming skills.

Important-- All Presentations should have the following:
Some Sprites must have movement, they should not just stand still
At least one Sprite must change costumes when walking, flying or dancing
You must have a picture for each fact, it can be a background (GRAB PHOTOS FROM CREATIVE COMMONS)
You should have at least one repeat loop
Program a Sprite to react to a keystroke (YOU MUST GIVE INSTRUCTIONS TO USE A CERTAIN KEY)
Use Broadcast and Receive
Must have a flag
Must have a map of your country showing your country in it's region.
