Student Workbook - Lesson 3: Storytelling with Scratch

What You?ll Learn

In this lesson, you will:

- Understand how to sequence events (make things happen in order)

- Use broadcasting to switch between scenes

- Create a 2-scene animated story with dialogue and characters

What Is Storytelling in Scratch?

Storytelling means using characters, scenes, and dialogue to show an event or idea. In Scratch, you can use

sprites, costumes, backdrops, and code blocks to make your own animated story!

Important Scratch Concepts in This Lesson

Sequence ? Making actions happen in a specific order (first this, then that).

Broadcast ? A way to send messages that tell other sprites when to do something.

Backdrop ? The background of your stage (used to create different scenes).

Dialogue ? When characters ?talk? using say blocks.

Step 1: Start a New Project

1. Go to scratch.mit.edu

2. Click 'Create'

3. Delete the cat sprite by clicking the trash can icon.

Step 2: Add Two Characters (Sprites)

1. Click the 'Choose a Sprite' button.

2. Select a character for your first sprite.

3. Add a second character the same way.

Tip: Drag the sprites to different spots on the stage.

Step 3: Add Two Scenes (Backdrops)


Student Workbook - Lesson 3: Storytelling with Scratch

1. Click the 'Choose a Backdrop' button.

2. Pick one for Scene 1.

3. Add another for Scene 2.

Step 4: Code Scene 1

For Sprite 1:

- Events ? when green flag clicked

- Looks ? switch backdrop to [Backdrop 1]

- Looks ? say Hello! for 2 seconds

- Add more say blocks for dialogue

For Sprite 2:

- Events ? when green flag clicked

- Control ? wait 2 seconds

- Looks ? say I'm good! for 2 seconds

- Add more dialogue

Step 5: Use Broadcast to Change the Scene

For Sprite 1:

- At the end, add: Events ? broadcast [new message] ? Name it 'scene2'

Step 6: Create Scene 2

Stage:

- Events ? when I receive 'scene2'

- Looks ? switch backdrop to [Backdrop 2']

Sprite 1:

- when I receive scene2 ? say This place is amazing!

Sprite 2:

- when I receive scene2 ? wait 2 seconds ? say Yes, it's my favorite spot!

Step 7: Test Your Story

1. Click the green flag ??

2. Watch your 2-scene story

3. Make sure the dialogue happens in the right order

Reflection Time

Write your answers:

1. What are the two backdrops you used?

2. What happens in Scene 1?

3. What message did you use to switch to Scene 2?

Challenge (Optional)

Add a third character who appears only in Scene 2:
