Lesson : Introduction to Scratch Learning Outcome : Block- based interactive coding Skills : Add a backdrop Choose the correct event Animate a sprite Teaching Aids : Scratch Cards pdf Program : Scratch2 Offline Editor

Time Allocation : 1 period

Lesson Plan :

With Scratch, learners can program their own interactive stories, games, and animations.Scratch helps learners to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.

Open the program Scratch. Learners will learn how to animate a sprite. A sprite can be an object

or a character. We will start with the character that has already been chosen, the Scratch cat.

Now we have to add a backdrop to our project. Click on the New Backdrop option and choose the Blue Sky backdrop then click on Ok.

Learners have to use scripts to animate their sprite. There are many categories to choose from. Start with the Events category, this will determine when your sprite does the animation. Click on the When sprite clicked button and drag it to the open space on the right side of the page. This means that your sprite will do what you coded when you click on it.

Learners must now add a Motion to the sprite. Click on the Motion category, click on the Move

10 steps button and drag it to the coding area. You will see that ten steps don’t move the sprite very much. Change the 10 inside of the block to 50 steps, click on your sprite and then he will move forward.

Let the learners animate the sprite to make a sound. Click on the Sound category, click on the Play sound meow button, drag it to your coding area and then click on the sprite. You will see that whenever your sprite takes 50 steps he will make the ‘meow’ sound.

Let the learners make the sprite change colour whenever it moves. Click on the Looks category, click on the Change color effect by 25 button, drag it to your coding area and then click on your sprite. Your sprite will change color every time you click on it.
