To celebrate the European Week of Code we are going to start programming at Year 2 of Primary School, we are going to start with some unplugged activities but we will continue with online ones. For that purpose we are going to use the website Code.org.
3. You have to follow the steps they are saying to you and fill all the fields.
4. Once you have your account you have to log in to use your personal site. You can do it by clicking on INGRESAR.
5. When you are at main screen you need to go to CREAR. It will be here where you can start creating your story.
Using this picture you can identify the main tools you will need to work with Scratch.
Now we offer you a couple of very helpful tips for you to deal with this new tool:
This is an amazing website with lots of information about the different elements of Scratch. PLEASE WHENEVER YOU HAVE A DOUBT TRY TO LOOK THE INFORMATION HERE.
With the following post I will try to help you to understand the different option SCRATCH will offer you to create your story.
First of all you have different BACKGROUNDS. You can take them and swap if you need, also you can create your personal ones.
It will be the same for the characters. You can choose different characters for the story and you can use with them different commands from the programmes.
In the EVENTOS part you will find different commands to start something or to send a message to other objects of the story. You will find a videotutorial about the message at the end of this post.
Also you can move the objects along the screen to create to do this you have to use all the comands you can find in the MOVIMIENTO part and also it will be very important to look for the x and y.
To create a story is very important the dialogues among the different characters. To create these dialogues you will use all the commands for the APARIENCIA part.
To use the different commands you have to place them in order into the PROGRAMMING AREA. Please be careful with what object you are choosing, you are working and programming the one it is circled in blue.
One of the most useful things for creating the stories will be the command MENSAJE (Recibir / Enviar). We will record a videotutorial to teach and remember you how to deal with you. Please let's watch it calmly and try to practice to fix your idea.
Another good idea to learn about how to create stories and dialogues in Scratch will be to look into a story which is already done for you. So please click on the next link and then click on VER DENTRO.
Along this unit we will work with different activities to learn different things like:
Adjectives to describe people.
The verb to have.
How to create questions.
Past tense of verbs.
With this form we want to know how much knowledge you have about these things. Please try to complete the task using as many vocabulary as possible from what we have said above.
