Unit 1, Module 3 : Interactive Programs through Text

Daily Summary

When I was a kid some of my favorite things in the world were Mad Libs and "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories. This module we will learn how to create related activities using Scratch.  In order to do this, we will need how to learn how to ask questions of the users, store their answers, and use these answers as part of our stories.  Today we will get started by creating a slightly interactive version of "Mary Had a Little Lamb"

Key Concepts

Basic Structure

Class is very dynamic and will depend on what you ask me to do or suggest as I ask questions.  But the basic outline for today is:

• Explore our starter story -https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/313309098/
• Using the ask block and setting variables
  • What is your name
• Adding variable data to say block
• Using conditionals
  • Do you want a sheep or a dog?
• Dogs don't have fleece.
  • Three way conditionals
• Final Results
  • This is what we made together

Recording Links

I will try to record each F2F session so that you can review the material if you were in class, or make up the material if you had to miss class.
