Conversation- Remix of "Penguin Joke"

In this activity, I remixed the "Penguin Joke" scratch.  Initially, the script was animated using wait blocks.  I then changed it, it uses broadcast, broadcast and wait and receive blocks to coordinate the conversation.  Broadcast is a tool that says the dialogue and allows the sprites to have a conversation.  You would use timing in a project to time movements.  You would use Broadcast in a project to time conversations.   

Make a Block

"Make a Block" is a tool in Scratch that allows the maker to design a script and then place the script under one block. Therefore, instead of the script being a bunch of little blocks, it is all in one block.  You might use "Make a Block" is you want to stay organized.  "Make a Block" is a useful and helpful tool that I plan on using. The video we watched with MJ was very helpful.

10 Blocks Challenge

This activity helped me learn Scratch because I was able to experiment with different blocks in order to get the sprite to move.  The 10 block restraint did not impact my ideas.

About the Beagle

Beagles are a small sturdy hound of a breed with a coat of medium length, bred especially for hunting. They are usually tri-colored (black, white, and tan). Their droopy ears add charcter. They usually weight between 20-25 pounds and they live for 12-15 years.

Beagles are notorious overeaters. Their strong sense of smell enables them to find food no matter how carefully it’s stashed away. Get between a beagle and its food at your own risk. A regular amount of exercise is a must for beagles, or they will quickly become obese. Despite their penchant for food, they don’t drool like many other breeds.
