Overview

In Interactive Presentation, students create a presentation and make it interactive using Scratch. Students add at least three slides, including a title slide that introduces their topic. Students learn how to present reports, research, or alternative story endings in a way that engages an audience and encourages collaboration

Examples

Learning Objectives

Create an interactive presentation in Scratch for CS First that includes text, images, and animation.
Use event blocks (like “when this sprite clicked”) to trigger a series of code.
Sequence at least 3 “say” blocks to introduce their topic (by selecting a narrator sprite).

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.
