Why is “Sprite Tapped” important for making a program feel alive? Without a Wait block, two Say blocks might flash by too fast to read. What does the Wait block do? What happens when you tap directly on a sprite that has a “When Sprite Tapped” block? “When Sprite Tapped” makes your sprite react automatically, without needing you to touch it. In the race analogy, what does the moment the flag drops represent? What does the Green Flag block do? Pressing a doorbell and hearing the “ding dong” is an example of an event and its reaction. What is an “event” in programming? 2.4 Quiz: My First Story 2.2 Quiz: Move & Animate How does switching costumes quickly create the look of animation? What are “costumes” in Scratch? The Forever block automatically stops after 10 times. What’s the difference between Repeat and Forever? If you wanted your sprite to move 10 steps 50 times in a row, what’s the smartest way to do it? When your sprite turns, it teleports to a new spot instead of rotating. How many degrees does your sprite need to turn to do a FULL spin and face the same direction again? What does the Turn block do to your sprite? Typing 100 in a Move block makes your sprite travel a smaller distance than typing 10. What does the Move block control? 2.3 Assignment: Sounds & Events 2.4 Assignment: My First Story In the story we did today (finding the treasure), we used 2 sprites only in the whole story If you told a joke but said the funny part FIRST by accident, what would that be an example of? You can only use ONE Say block in your entire story. What happens when you switch to a new background in the middle of your story? Every complete story needs a clear beginning and a clear ___. A background (backdrop) tells the audience WHERE the story is happening. What is a “scene” in your story? Which block makes a speech bubble appear above your sprite? In PicToBlox Junior, blocks run in the exact order you stack them, from left to right. What do we call it when things happen in a specific order, one after another? 2.2 Assignment: Move & Animate 2.4 My First Story → Sequencing and digital storytelling 2.3 Sounds & Events → Interactive programs that respond to taps 2.2 Move & Animate → Making sprites move and animate 2.1 What is Coding?
