Medium: Your first & last initial - Try to start here at a minimum
Hard: Your entire first name
Share your project & add to the Scratch 2018-19 5th Grade Studio. Add instructions, notes, and credits, if needed. You will need instructions about arrow keys and video sensing.
Take a screenshot of your project and save in the Pictures folder on your computer named as 5th-YourName-Initials OR 5th-YourName-Name
Tell them something specific you liked about their Easter Egg Hunt
Ask them a question about something they did that you want to know more about OR Give them a suggestion about something that could improve their hunt or that you would like to see added.
Please rate some games for a game contest happening this weekend. Open the Rate the Games form and play each of the games below and fill out the form for it:

Borrow a Chromebook or Laptop and add some video sensing to your Scratch 3 Dance Party for your main dancer. Check out the video sensing tutorial - this was done on Scratch 2.0 but the blocks will say mostly the same things but are now a different color. Video sensing blocks are now under Extensions.
Document your code on your Scratch project.

Done? Borrow a Chromebook or Laptop and add some video sensing to your Scratch 3 Dance Party for your main dancer. Check out the video sensing tutorial - this was done on Scratch 2.0 but the blocks will say mostly the same things but are now a different color. Video sensing blocks are now under Extensions.
Add a backdrop. You can have your dance party happen anywhere you would like. (Video Tutorial)
Add a sprite to dance. It is best to use one of the sprites in the dance category for this since they have costumes for dancing. (Video Tutorial)
Make your sprite dance using their costumes. You must create the dance as a procedure/function using My Blocks. You will most likely need the Video Tutorial.
Add some "music" for your sprite to dance to. The script for the music must be on the backdrop not the dancer sprite. (Video Tutorial)
Make your sprite move with the arrow keys. Your sprite must be able to move left and right. You can optionally have them also be able to move up and down. You are required to use the Sensing blocks for this. You cannot use the When key pressed event block. You will most likely need the Video Tutorial.
Now it's time to really get the party started and add your own flair! You can add any of the following. You do not need to add them all but must do at least one of them.
Make the backdrop change appearance somehow in a forever loop. If you don't know how to do this, it would be similar to how your sprite dances but would change a graphics effect rather than a costume. This Video Tutorial shows how and uses a variable that can control the speed of the light changes. You do not have to use a variable to get this to work. NOTE: The tutorial is for Scratch 2.0 but all blocks should be available in Scratch 3.0.
Add more dancers and make them dance. NOTE: You can copy the Dance from your original sprite to a new sprite by pulling it over to the new sprite. If you want to add a sprite that isn't in the dance category, you could use something like the twist graphic effect instead of costume changes. See this tutorial for more information - note that the tutorial is Scratch 2.0 but the blocks are all available in Scratch 3.0.
Create a dance off with your original sprite and another sprite. NOTE: This would be best with having the sprite start to dance when clicked (not when green flag is clicked) and having it repeat a certain amount of times (not forever).
Allow user to select the "music" to be played. You will need to add additional loops to the backdrop and then add code to set a variable to the music choice and conditionally play it. You can use this video tutorial to help you. NOTE: The tutorial is for Scratch 2.0 but all blocks are available in Scratch 3.0 AND the video is programming a sprite but you would do this on the stage.
Want to get even fancier with the "music"? Add a DJ to your project and follow these Scratch 2.0 tutorials (which should work in Scratch 3.0). Make sure you don't use arrow keys that are already being used to control the movement of your dancer.
Anything else you can think of!
December 3rd:
It’s Computer Science Education Week and we’re going to celebrate this week with dancing!
Have you ever watched a dance team perform to music together? How do they stay in sync?
Let's all clap together. How can I get you to do that?
Using the controller on the final slide, choose a dance move students should do. Remind students that each button is an event that will have them do one of the dance moves over and over
Did you do each move once?
Student Led Dance Party: Students take turns choosing a song and using the controller to have the rest of the class dance
Wrap Up Questions:
Pushing the button on the controller was an event. Why would programs have events? Can you think of any events you have used in a Scratch program?
You danced in loops because you danced forever until a new button was pushed. Can you think of why we would need loops in programs?
Sign in to Google Classroom and fix the problems identified on Assignment P02: Google Site: Self-Portrait Post. Make sure to resubmit when you have completed fixing the problems.
Draw the outline of your head, neck & shoulders on a new layer - do NOT fill in your head with skin color, yet!
Add a new layer to draw each of your features; you can duplicate a layer to create a similar feature. To get an idea of where each feature should be, check this out.
When you are done, delete the template layer and add your skin color to your outline layer.
When you are done with all of the features and ready to draw your hair & add clothing, save one last time and then Flatten the image and save as a .PNG file type. Do not change the name of the image, just the file type.
