December 12th

                Today we will start our final scratch project. In class you will receive a rubric for the project outline. It is very broad and you will be provided with a lot of freedom, so use it well!

               After I distribute the rubric, please answer the following questions on a google doc in our shared folder. The proposal should be one page in length.

1. What type of game are you going to design (single player, 2 player)? What will be the purpose of the game?


2. What types of sprites will you use (you should include 3, one which will be original)?



3. What will be your stage(s) and backgrounds? Will you switch stages?



4. How will your control the movement of your sprites? Will there be broadcasts?


5. What will be your variable (points, score, time) and how will it be tracked?


6. Anything else important/interesting that you would like to include.

December 10th

Today we will finish our Rock, Paper, Scissors, script that we started in class yesterday. If you finish early, consider adding a score keeper in your game so you can keep track of your wins and loses.

After this, you will create your own simple timer in Scratch. I will show you an example, and you are required to create your own without any help from sample programs.

Next class, you will start your final project for this unit. Begin brainstorming creative ideas for making your own Scratch game that includes variables, keeps score, etc.

December 3rd

Guten Tag!

       Today is a exciting day in Comm Tech. We are going to create a 3 scene story in Scratch that includes speech, scene changes, broadcasts, and more.

     First I will give you a demonstration of the Cat story. Then, you can go to our Rockway Scratch site and download the game and look through the script. When you have an understanding of it, I want you to create your own 3 scene script! You will have more than 1 class to finish this assignment, so add in anything extra that you think would be cool!


When you are finished, upload the game to the Scratch site and answer the following questions:

1. What is the basic outline of your story?

2. What new techniques did you learn?

3. What challenges did you face?

4. Did you make any improvements to your game? What were they?
