Scratch: All About Me

Instructions

1. Click Create on the Scratch website

2. Create a project that introduces YOU!

   • Include more than one sprite

   • Sprites should "talk" in some way to explain why they are in the project and how they relate to you

   • Be sure if you click the Green Flag more than once that your program runs the same way every time

3. Done?

   • Name and Save your current project

   • Optional: Share your project and add it to our CS PD Week Studio

Extensions

It can be a good idea to remix your own project (File/Save as a copy) before you try an extension.

3. • Use both speech bubbles and recorded speech for each thing that sprites say

   • Start project with just the sprite representing you & have other sprites appear after introduction & have other sprites disappear after you click on them & once they have all been clicked on have sprite representing you thank the user - See example (Requires knowledge of Broadcast block and variables)

   • Add additional backdrops to create multiple scenes in your All About Me project - See example with this and more (Requires knowledge of using multiple backdrops and the When backdrop switches to Event block)
