On your journal page answer these two questions: Scratch Journal #1 Write a description of your first Scratch exploration I learned how to add a new sprite, how to change the sprite to a different person if you wanted to.I also learned that you could try out some of the examples that people made like PacMan and a Marble race track. I like scratch because i like how you could try examples of others who made one and also make your own world. I also learned to change the costumes of the sprite and to also make your own sounds. With the microphone on top on of computer you can video yourself with your voice and put it on the game.

Scratch Journal #2 Which sample project did you explore? What did you learn? i explored Pac-Man and Marble racer.I learned that with the Pac-Man it was changing the costumes when it opens the mouth and closes it. From the marble game i learned that you could control the game with the arrow keys with the keyboard and also could even try controlling the sprite with your mouse as well. There is also a game where you could move the sprite with the mouse.

The video i saw talked about how to make the characters and scratch say something and how long they are supposed to wait to say something. This video taught me that when your making a script that says something you will need a time limit because the seconds left symbolizes the whole point of the game.This video helped me because the game i am making will need to do something like this so i could wait a couple seconds like the video said to do when one sprite says something. this video can help my game cause my game will teach students about photosynthesis and you have to answer questions for a duration of time and the video taught me about the duration.
