First Scratch Program: Moving, Sequencing, and Parallel Actions

What are some of the actions that can be performed by a sprite in Scratch?

• Moving, triggering events, and talking
• Drawing, playing music, and changing costumes
• Calculating, making decisions, and creating variables
• Recording sounds, creating loops, and using conditionals

How did the Scratch program created by the students demonstrate parallel execution?

• By having multiple sprites moving at the same time
• By executing instructions in a specific order
• By allowing user input to control the program flow
• By using complex algorithms for sprite animation

What was the purpose of using events in the Scratch program?

• To make the sprite move in response to user input
• To trigger a sequence of instructions in a specific order
• To create parallel execution of sprite actions
• To enable the sprite to talk while performing other actions

What are some examples of actions that can be programmed in Scratch?

What is the purpose of using events in programming with Scratch?

How does Scratch allow for parallel execution of actions?

Reflect on a time when you created something for the first time. How did it feel to accomplish that? How does it relate to the experience described in the text?

Think about a time when you had to follow a sequence of instructions to achieve a goal. What was the goal and how did you go about completing the steps? How does this relate to the concept of triggering a sequence of instructions in Scratch?

Describe a situation where you had to multitask or perform multiple actions simultaneously. How did you manage to do so effectively? How does this connect to the idea of having a sprite move and talk at the same time in parallel in Scratch?
