This project, your only NEW assignment for this week, has 5 steps
Step 1 - Download the attached .sb3 file to your computer (it will probably go to your downloads folder by default)
Step 2 - Visit the Scratch website (scratch.mit.edu) -- it is linked below. YOU HAVE TO SIGN IN OR CREATE AN ACCOUNT!!
Step 3 - Click: Create > File > Load From Your Computer ... choose the file you downloaded in Step 1
Step 4 - Here are the instructions for what you need to do
Create a teacher appreciation card for 1 (or more) of your teachers. The file that you downloaded is a 'template' that you can modify but PLEASE don't submit this file back to me (it's lazy and also makes you a bum). Make changes! I am adding some notes/tips below.
The card is for teacher appreciation week. Personalize it. Add your name and a message. Change the sprites. Change the effects.
Step 4b - These are the tips
* Your card is 3 background images (closed, opening, open). If you click on stage (it's all of the way to the right) and look at the backdrops tab, you can change the colors. Use the [arrow tool] to select the box, then you can change the fill and outline colors in the boxes above the canvas.
* I have added code to the sprite on the front. If you want to try to change the sprite and keep the code, you can - the code in this case only changes the outfit.
* The words and sprite on the inside of the card are animated individually. You can delete the images that you don't need and/or modify to fit your needs.
Step 5 - Email the card to me AND WAIT FOR MY REPLY that it is OK to send to the teacher for whom you are making the card. I am assuming that you would all choose me so I will pretend that I was the original recipient, you are waiting for my reply so that I can confirm your link is working.
> TO: [email protected]
> SUBJECT: Teacher Appreciation Card
> BODY OF MESSAGE: The name of the teacher to whom you will be sending and a LINK to the card (the CodeHS URL) ... instructions are given in the other post.
