This was a difficult week. I don’t feel completely satisfied with the projects that I worked on. However, I do believe that they could be useful in the classroom.
Project 1: Coordinate Plane Cats
Using the coordinate grid as a background, I designed a script that works kind of like a game. It was be nice to find a way to have the cats say the the coordinate pair as it lands on the blue dot. In an assignment, I would have the students write down and keep track of the coordinate pairs as they land their cat on each one.

Project 2 – Street Scene with Conversation
This is an adaptation of the walking man script. I thought it would be nice to have a simple scene where two sprites have a conversation. I think that you could have the conversation go on for quite a long time. This might be useful in a foreign language class to teach simple greetings. Or have students reenact a scene from a novel in this scratch format.
That’s all for this week!
