In this unplugged lesson, you will consider how different events cause different responses to happen. You will act out these ideas in the classroom and also on paper.
What event occurs?
What response(s) did the event trigger?
Does parallelism occur? -two or more things happening at same time.
If we want to restart the program where do Scratch Cat and Gobo go? (How do we initialize?)

In Scratch, event blocks are baseball-hat shaped brown blocks. Some have drop-down menus that give more options. Examples of event blocks in Scratch include:
event (n): an action that causes something to happen
initialize (v): assign an initial (beginning) value to a variable or object
x, y coordinates (n): the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) address of any point on a computer screen
