SCRATCH QUESTIONS FOR ADI Hi Adi, can you introduce yourself to the class? Liana thank you for creating this page for us.

Your welcome-LD

Of course. Thank you Liana for thanking me, for me it is something that I need to do for you, for Morah Gannon, for me, and for my English . __About me__ I'm a seventh grader in a school called "Segola"; it is a school from 7th grade to 12th grade (because in Israel middle school starts in 7th grade). In school, the lesson I prefer the most is math. I was in my school's bible contest and won 5th place, and now I'm in an Israeli language arts contest. I like technology and books. I live in Israel, in Kfar Hasidim and I'm Assaf's older sister. I think I would really like answering your questions.

Adi, a few kids will start writing on here this week. (Brayan, Avi, Rachel, Natan)

I'm waiting for your question!! Adi

__ QUESTIONS __ 1. (Liana) When you make a scratch project, how do you use the operators?

Answers

1. When you want to make a scratch project you firstly go to "Control" which is on the upper left corner and is orange. You drag "when green flag clicked" to the striped area (sometime you may use other buttons, but for a start you use "when green flag clicked" mostly). Now you can go to "Motion" "Looks" or "Sound" (the other buttons are for further and increaser project). You chose and drag anything you want and that will help you get to your goal. When you see (or before you see) that everything goes very fast and you can't see anything, drag into your instructions list some "wait _ secs" (in "Control") and chose how many seconds you would like your character to wait.

2. Adi can you talk a bit about adding sound to scratch. Remember how you added your sister to your Scratch project. Thanks Morah Gannon

__Answer__ When you want to add sounds to your scratch project you choose the sprite that you want it to talk. You click on the "Sound**s**" button, which is under "Save As" (up in the middle). If you want to record sounds first log a microphone into your computer, then you click on "Record". After that you click the red circle on the smaller window. Now the computer started recording and you should say whatever you want to record. When you finish recording, click "OK". If you want to add any sound which you can't record (like animals sounds) you need to click "Import" and then choose the sound you want from the files. After you finish all this, go back to "Scripts". In scripts go to "Sound" (pink, in the upper left corner), choose and drag the operator you need into your motion list.

__3. Can you add scanned pictures to your Scratch?__

__Answer__ Yes, you can add scanned pictures to your Scratch. Firstly save your scanned picture on the desktop or in the computer's picture library. Secondly go back to your Scratch project, into "Costumes" (upper middle). Choose "Import" and then go (in the small window) to the place you saved your scanned picture in. Now the scanned picture is a regular sprite costume, and you can do whatever you want with it.

4. How do you keep a sprite on one backround, not on every backround You use the HIDE button. (A continue to your answer) and the "show" button. Or you can use "go back _ layers" and "go to front"

5. I wanted to share that another program called Alice 2.0 which is like Scratch. This program was developed for high school and college level. I'm sure a few of you will enjoy the challenge. http://www.alice.org/index.php?page=downloads/download_alice
