2.7 Sound Party

Standards

• • CSTA 2-AP-12: Design and iteratively develop programs that combine control structures, including nested loops and compound conditionals.

  • CSTA 2-AP-16: Incorporate existing code, media, and libraries into original programs, and give attribution.

CSTA

• • Students can continue working in the fish project 2-8, or make a new project from scratch and add three sprites and a backdrop.

  • Students need to turn in a scratch project that uses three types of sounds, as in the example project.

    • a sound from the Sound Library.

    • a manipulated sound or new recording using the Sound Editor.

    • a built-in sound (notes/drums)

      • note: students can also upload a sound - but this optional -not part of the student checklist.

  • Video (1.5 minutes) -how to add sounds from the Sound Library, -how to create sounds in the Sound Editor, - how to Upload Sounds.

TEACHER GUIDANCE:

Students sometimes run into problems, importing sounds from the Sound Library into their scratch project. Make sure that in the sound library, the file is highlighted ( grey box around sound file) , before clicking OK, otherwise the sound is not added to scratch project.

Tips of reusing code:

• • Move code from one sprite to another sprite. (Video)

  • Move between scratch projects:

    • Use backpack to keep code between scratch sessions.

    • Download sprite to your computer then upload it to a new scratch project. Make sure to give credit.

Close-Out (5 minutes)

Discuss the following questions:

• 1. Where can you find sounds to use with your scratch project.

  2. Where can you manipulate sounds or record new sounds?

  3. Why might this be important to reuse code?
