Tell a story - Scratch

See also: Scratch

"Tell a story" is a tutorial from the Scratch tutorial page

Intro video very quickly goes through the process

  • Select a background
  • Choose a character
  • Give it dialogue
  • Add a second character and switch its orientation
  • Start them having a conversation introducing a wait
  • much more about having to hide/show sprites, especially when running

Can see how this might get overly complicated for some folk.

Considerations for use#

  • How many students have computers that function?
  • What happens when the Scratch website is unavailable?
  • Downloading the offline editor might help, and it has the tutorials

  • How to introduce them to the various concepts?

    • Just let them go with the tutorial?
    • I do, We do (they work through tutorial), You do?
    • Use the story cards, maybe with a variation of I/We/You at the start and then other cards as they select?

  • Can we organise for students to save their work?
