Figurative Language Scratch Project
Figurative Language Scratch Project
Make at least one of your sprites change costumes.
Have your sprites go through at least two background changes.
Create a loop.
Create one algorithm which include methods of controlling the flow of computation using “if…then… else” type conditional statements to perform different operations depending on the values of inputs.
Add sound to one of your sprites.
Save your project and share it on the class padlet.
