Begin class by going to scratch.mit.edu (if you haven't already downloaded scratch, please do so by clicking on the "download zip file" or ask the person next to you for help). I want you to take the first 20 minutes to PLAY! Choose a few games on the website and play them. Consider the type of game you are playing and perhaps get some ideas for your own game.
Some key things to remember: Your games should be original and creative. Ms. Pelat is tired of playing pong and maze games, so use your imagination! You have 6 weeks...take your time. You may want to make several games or work on one with several levels. Just don't feel pressured by time because there is lots!!
After about 20 minutes, go to learnscratch.org and check out some of the tutorials. You may want to begin playing around with some of the controls at this point. If you are not ready, don't worry, when I come back after break I am going to show you a few things to get you started, including the scripts from several examples to give you an idea of what it may look like.
If you would like to wait for my demo, please work on your blog portfolio and make sure that you have handed in your swf flash file. You may even want to show Ms. Pipke what you've been working on!
See you after break!
