Scratch v2 Tutorials

*** SCRATCH V3 VERSION TO BE PUBLISHED VERY SOON - favourite me to receive notification.***

In my series of Scratch projects, students are encouraged to learn through doing - creating projects that encourage learning.

In this NEW series of lessons for Scratch 2, I provide a more structured approach, looking in detail at Scratch programming tools. Each tool is explored through simple projects, and students then go on to further explore using guided project worksheets.

What is Scratch v2
Events and Triggers
Controls
Motion and the Stage
Data Variables
Operators - number
Operators - text
The lessons comprise:

a fully animated PowerPoint with explanatory slides, together with the project instructions
a Word document with the PowerPoint project instruction slides printed 2 to a page as a handout for students to follow
accompanying fully-working Scratch project files for students and teachers
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions, and a BIG BIG thanks for looking (as a full time practising teacher, I KNOW how time consuming this process can be).

ALL my postings are FULLY “classroom-tested” - before I publish, my lessons are tested by both myself and colleagues, rigorously evaluated and discussed, and continually updated to maximise their effectiveness.

But there is always the possibility of error and room for improvement, so do please provide constructive feedback.
