1.Students will be making a dialogue between two or more sprites.

(use this link as an example: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/50014/ then click the see inside button)

o Have a sample dialogue with a student; for example, § Teacher: Knock-Knock § Student: Who’s there? § Teacher: Juana

§ Student: Juana who?

§ Teacher: Juana go write a program in Scratch!

§ Student: Ha ha!

o Make a sample program using only “say _ for _ secs” blocks.

o Ask students what was the difference between the live dialogue and the sample program?

(Answer is that in the program they are talking at the same time.) o Have students help you find the “wait _ sec” block. Add a few so students can see the sprites taking turns.

o Show students Dialogue Sample Rubric and tell them that they can create their own dialogue. They can do their own knock-knock joke, or they can use their creativity.

• Develop Dialogue o Circulate room and help students.

• Student presentations o Have students volunteer to present their dialogues for the entire class.
