=Scratch Lesson 1: Introducing Scratch and Creating Sprite = == media type="file" key="Scratch Lesson 1 of 10.mp4" width="705" height="392" **Step 1:** First Look at Scratch Start Scratch Program. Sprite Preview lets you preview a project. Sprite Selection and Creation lets you select an existing Sprite or create a new Sprite. Sprite Editor lets you edit a Sprite’s Scripts, Costumes, and Sounds. Tool Box is like a bucket of Lego; it provides single script blocks for building combo script blocks. Step 2: Create Your First Sprite Delete the cat sprite by right click on “sprite1” and select “Delete”. ==  Then click the  (“Create new sprite” button) to open the Paint Editor. I created the following guy using mostlyPaintbrush Eraser  Fill Tool  Rectangle Tool Ellipse ToolLine Tool Text Tool  Select Tool Stamp Tool  Eyedropper Click Ellipse Tool and click hollow mode. Draw three circles. Click Ellipse Tool and click solid mode ; draw a little dark solid circle inside the medium circle, which will be the eye. Use Eraser tool to trim the smallest circle; this will be the ear. Click Stamp Tool button and select the eyeball to copy. Drag the eyeball copy to where you want the new eyeball to be. Do the same for the ear to make two ears. Use Fill Tool to fill the face and the eye ball. Click Select Tool button and select both eyes; move them to the face. Click Select Tool button and select left ear; drag it to its place. Click Select Tool button and select the right ear; click  to flip it. Then drag the right ear to its place. Click Eyedropper Tool and click the face to copy the face color. Click Fill Tool and fill both ears with the face color. Use Line Tool to add hair, body, arms, legs, and cloth. Fill in color with Fill Tool. Once you are happy with your own Virtual Me, click OK to save. Rename the costume to “front”. This is the front view. STEP 3 CREATE BACK, LEFT SIDE, and RIGHT SIDE VIEWS To create back view, make a copy of costume “front” (click “Copy” button next to costume “front”). Use Erase tool to erase eyes and mouth. Use Eyedropper tool to copy the face color. Then use Fill Tool to paste the color in the empty area. Click OK to save. Rename this costume as “back”. Then copy the costume “back”. Erase extra body parts. Redraw body parts. Refill color of the face and the pant using Eyedropper Tool and Fill Tool. Click OK to save and rename this costume as “facing left” Copy the costume “facing left” and click to flip the figure horizontally. Click OK to save and rename the costume as “facing right”. We’ve just created four costumes for the same sprite: “front”, “back”, “facing right” and “facing left”. Your Sprite Editor should looks like this: Click Save button and, at the bottom of the “Save Project” window, enter “dance” as file name. Then click OK. = Link to Lesson 2 =
