Mastery Activity 2b : Scene It
Ninja Instructions | Mentor Notes
Introduction
The last mastery activity asked you to focus on a nursery rhyme. In this activity you can follow the exact same set of guidelines, but you can animate a scene from your favorite TV show or movie. Or if you prefer, a scene from your favorite book. It's all about the power of using Scratch to allow you to be creative!
To get some ideas you can check out:
Duration
Instructions
Create a brand new story (not a remix this time) that:
Uses at least three different sprites where at least one of those sprites is someting you found on the Internet (not a pre-loaded image from Scratch)
Use blocks from a minimu of five of the six sub-menus:
Sequence several “actions” to “show” a scene from a book, TV show, movie, etc. when the green flag is pressed.
We strongly encourage you to use at least three of the following:
Recording your own sounds
The use of multiple costumes/backdrops
Incorporate something unique to you, your school, etc. (why not use a picture of you in your story?)
Use broadcast messages to synchronize your story
Things to think about when you are done
