Your Project:

Create a Story or Game in Scratch.

Requirements:

• User input: your app behaves differently depending on what the user does with their mouse and/or keyboard.
• Multiple Screens: the app has different screens. Examples: different rooms, different levels, start/end screen
• Easy to Figure Out: put the instructions in the game. Example: have a sprite say the instructions at the beginning.
• Computer Science Concepts: include as many good CS concepts as you possibly can.

Grading / Computer Science Concepts

More Advanced Concepts (Level 4):

Include SOME or ALL of the following to get level 3.5 – 4 grade.

• Lists, including looping through a list
• Complex if/else logic
• Complex conditionals (and / or / not)
• Complex use of loops (ex: loop inside a loop, repeat until loops, loop that starts after a previous loop finishes, etc)
• Complex math operations with variables
• Accomplish a task that is tricky to figure out
• Clever use of clones to avoid repetitive code
• Create clones of sprites

Proficient Concepts (Level 3):

Include several / most of the following for Level 3 grade:

• Variables: must modify variable and use variable values in ways that affect the outcome of the game.
• If and if/else: branching / decision logic
• Loops: include a “repeat n time” and/or “repeat until” loop (“Control” palette)
• Broadcast: send a broadcast and have other sprites respond to the broadcast. Use in a way that actually affects the outcome of the program.

Developing Concepts (Level 2):

Include ALL of these concepts for level 2:

• Keyboard or Mouse Input (See “Sensing” and “Events” palettes)
• Sprite Movement (See “Motion” palette)
• Change Sprite Appearance (See “Looks” palette)
  • Include “hide” and “show”
• Forever Loop (“Control” palette)
• Meet all project requirements from above (2 screens, etc)

If one or more concepts are missing, this will result in a developing (level 2) grade or a basic (level 1) grade.
