How?
From Computer Science Concepts with Scratch by Michal Armoni and Moti Ben-Ari
We suggest that you work on each task according to the following guidelines:
Read the task.
1. Think how you would solve the task and write your solution in English.
2. Consider if you already know enough constructs in Scratch in order to translate your solution in a Scratch project and try to do so.
3. If not, look for new Scratch constructs. Each new construct appears in a frame together with a short explanation. Try using the new construct.
