DIALOGUE

Overview

Students program a conversation between two characters to explore the role of dialogue in storytelling.

Examples

Learning Objectives

Use looks blocks (like “say”) and wait blocks to construct a dialogue between two characters (sprites).
Use sound blocks (like “play sound until done”) to trigger a series of code.
Add events blocks (like “broadcast”) to sequence the story.
Use looks blocks (like “switch costume to“ and “switch backdrop to”) to personalize their story.

Computer Science Topics Covered

Parallelism: The process of events happening at the same time, either independently or interdependently.
Debugging: The process of identifying and fixing error(s) in a program when it is not functioning as expected.
Control structures: Sections of code that order the direction or flow of how a program functions. The control structure in this lesson is focused on loops.
