Open the program that you started in Scratch in the lessons. It should be titled First Program.

Part A: Think a Thought
Now that you’ve made your sprite move, it’s time to make them think a thought. Drag over a when green flag clicked button. Click on the Looks category and choose the think Hmm… block.

Let’s customize this block to make the sprite tell us what it’s thinking. Change the default “Hmm…” text to something of your choice that is appropriate for the background that you chose. Run your program and watch your sprite think a thought!

Make a screenshot of your sprite’s thought and paste it in a word processing document to submit.

Part B: Dance!
Now, take it to the next level and find out how to make your sprite do a little dance. Screenshot your blocks of code and paste it in your word processing document to submit.

Part C: Take a Walk
Create a forever loop to make your sprite keep walking. When they reach the end of the screen, have them turn around. (Hint: check out the if on edge, bounce block!) Screenshot your blocks of code and paste them in your word processing document.

It seems you are working on a Scratch project and I can guide you through the steps for Parts A, B, and C. While I can't take screenshots, I can describe what you need to do in detail.

Part A: Think a Thought

  1. Open Scratch and load your project titled "First Program."
  2. Drag the when green flag clicked block from the Events category to the script area.
  3. Go to the Looks category and select the think [ ] for [2] seconds block.
  4. Change the text inside the think block from "Hmm..." to something appropriate for your sprite and background, for example, "What a beautiful day!" or "I love dancing!"
  5. Run your program by clicking the green flag to see what your sprite is thinking.
  6. Take a screenshot of your sprite's thought (the think bubble) and paste it into a word processing document.

Part B: Dance!

  1. Continue in your Scratch project. Below the previous blocks, add the when green flag clicked block again or continue with the same one if you'd like.
  2. Add a motion block like repeat 10 or forever (to keep it going).
  3. Inside this loop, add the following blocks:
    • move [10] steps
    • turn cw [15] degrees or turn ccw [15] degrees
  4. To add a bit more flair, you might also use the play sound [sound] until done block from the Sounds category to make it dance to music.
  5. Run your program to see your dancing sprite.
  6. Take a screenshot of your blocks of code (the dance script) and paste it into your word processing document.

Part C: Take a Walk

  1. Still in your Scratch project, create a new script with another when green flag clicked block.
  2. Drag a forever block from the Control category into your script area.
  3. Inside the forever loop, add the following blocks:
    • move [10] steps
    • Add an if on edge, bounce block from the Motion category.
  4. This will make your sprite walk continuously and turn around whenever it reaches the edge of the screen.
  5. Run your program to check that your sprite walks and bounces at the edges.
  6. Take a screenshot of your blocks of code that make the sprite walk and paste it into your word processing document.
