Storytelling (5)

New Code Blocks

Vocabulary

• Speech bubble: A shape with words, usually next to the head of an Actor, containing the Actor's speech or thoughts
• Caption: A rectangle at the top of the Stage that contains a short explanation or description of an image

Objectives

• Use speech bubbles to make Actors have a conversation
• Use speech bubbles and delays to convey meaning and emotion
• Create a comic-book style conversation between characters

1. Speaking Example (Example)

• Students will view a project of an alien talking by himself! In the next module, students will learn how to make a conversation between two Actors.

• In this DIY (do-it-yourself) project, students will follow step-by-step directions to program an alien Actor to speak and animate the alien while it’s talking.
• Bonus: Encourage students to change the text inside the “say” block. What silly things can they make the alien say?

• Students will view a project where two Actors are having a conversation. The alien asks a question, and the cow responds.

• In this DIY project, students will program the alien Actor to tell a joke to the cow, and add a laughter sound effect!
• Optional: As a class, create space-themed jokes and write them on the board.
• Encourage students to edit the values inside the “wait” blocks to improve the feel of the joke (e.g., add more delay).
• Did students finish early? Ask them to check out the bonus section in “Step 4/4” of the tutorial, which encourages them to make the Actors tell more jokes and add a third Actor!

• To solve this puzzle module, students will need to change the alien’s costume to match the dialogue. The order is: frustrated, standing, frustrated.
• Give a hint: Tell students to change the value of the “wait” blocks until the timing is correct.

• Students will view a project where two Actors are having a funny conversation.
• The Actors will talk automatically. No need to click (web) or tap (mobile) the screen!

• In this DIY project, students will create an animated conversation between two Actors. Activities include changing the background, customizing the characters, and writing a conversation.
• Are students struggling to come up with a conversation? Tell them to refer to the classroom board, which has a silly conversation from today’s warm-up.
• Did students finish early? Ask them to check out the bonus section in “Step 6/6” of the tutorial!

• Students will view a comic book project, then they will create their own version in the next module!

• In this DIY project, students will create a comic book page with four panels. Activities include adding characters for each panel and adding a timed dialogue to the characters.
• Example code has been provided, so your students don’t have to drag code to every Actor.
• Check that your students understand the comic book format--the four Ghost Actors represent a single character at four different points in time.
