Unit 2.1.1 Performing Scripts

For this unit we will not be programming in scratch. We will be acting out the scratch commands in real life!

We need two volunteers.

And will perform the following:

The two volunteers will act out a series of instructions (either by “programming” the volunteers through the

Scratch interface or through printed-out physical versions of the Scratch blocks).

- Have one person do one thing (like walk across the room).

- Have that person “reset”.

- Have that person do two things simultaneously (like walk across the room and talk).

- Add the second person, by having the second person

simultaneously (but independently) do a task, like talking.

- Have the second person do a dependent task, like responding to the first person instead of talking over.

Reflect on the experience as a group to discuss the concepts

of events and parallelism using the reflection prompts to

the right.
