Open the Scratch project as a class.
Click "See Inside."
Move Scratch Cat to different locations on the coordinate plane and watch the "Go To" and "Glide" block numbers change.
As a group, think of two coordinates. Drag the "Go To" and "Glide" blocks into the project and enter your coordinates into the blocks.
Click the blocks and watch Scratch Cat move!

In the first video, the programmer notices that numbers (coordinates) change in the "go to" block. What made the numbers change?
In the SEE video, the programmer creates her own connect the dots drawing. Can you explain, in your own words, how she did this?
Partner A: Ask a Question
Partner B: Answer
Partner A: "What I hear you saying is..."

Open the Worksheet and Scratch project together as a class.
Using the worksheet, put the steps in the correct order to create your own connect the dots backdrop.
Use the video if you need some help remembering the process.
After you have ordered the steps correctly, try drawing a geometric shape together as a class. Straight lines work best!

Today in Scratch, we used sequence to arrange "connect the dots" in order. We also used the coordinates to tell sprites to where to move.
Partner A: Share your project and talk about your process.
Today I _______. Let me show you...
Partner B: Respond to your partner with feedback.
I can tell you worked hard on ________ because ________.
I think ________ could be even better if you ________.
Switch roles!
