scratch reflection (not the final one)

I have finished my second project on scratch. I did this one about football, I did it about football because my hobby is about playing football so I chose something to do with my identity and something that represents me. The characters in this scratch program are called Avery ad Alex. This story also represents me because I was also a type of person to be shy of showing something you like, so I did this to show my story but in an animated form. There was only one background that I used, but I used lots of conversation between 2 characters, I also used movements such as glide. The background was on a football pitch because that is where my story relates to. The starting conversation began when Avery asked Alex if she liked playing football, then Alex said yes and started playing football with him just for fun.  The most thing that I found interesting and fun about this is the fact where I could have many different movements happening at the same time, what I found tricky was the fact where you have to be exact in the timing you use between each conversation I used in the project. If I was going to do this project again I would improve on making new and more interesting things to get a higher mark and add some sound in it to make it look more realistic. In conclusion I found it fun making the scratch program project but it can take a lot of time to get everything right and perfect.

reflection on scratch ( the final one)



On scratch i have finished one of the projects, I did this one about people who cant find friends because they have just came and people are judging them, so i made a scratch programming about a girl who couldn't find friends called May and a girl called April came to cheer her up. I used 2 different backgrounds in this program, one is the school in the playground and the other one was in Aprils room. they both had a conversation between each other. They both began with introducing themselves. Then April asked why May was so lonely and the answer was because she was new and no one would be her friend. I did this to show that no on should judge people at the first sight, and that no one should be lonely. The thing that i found interesting and fun was how you can change the background automatically to show that the scene has changed. The thing that i found hard or tricky is how to control the timings, how many seconds the other person has to wait so the other person can finish talking. The new thing that i have learnt was how you can change the background automatically, because before i thought you can only have one background for the whole project. I am an IB learner because i have used my knowledge on the project and i was an inquirer because i asked questions. I am also organized because i have finished my project in time

story boards

In IT class we were learning about making conversations between two characters on the website or app scratch. I did my story about a girl called may and another girl called April. May had no friends so April decided to come and ask her to her house so they can be friends.  she agreed and went over to may's house. I wanted to do this about two people becoming friends because I think it is right to have friends with someone instead of being a lone. I firs planed on what I should do it about. then I sketched it on a different piece of paper and made up conversation, now i am planning to do the same story on scratch. The thing that I found interesting is when I was working on it on scratch, I like how we can use the different techniques and unique shapes and characters. The thing that I found challenging was the time that was between each person’s conversation, you need to get it correctly or Aprils conversation may be in the way of Mays conversation. The thing that I found surprising was is how you could make the background in many different places. I also like how you can make different sounds to go with your characters very realistic
                                      




Reflection:

We had to do a second story board with a different story, this one is talking about my hobby which is playing football. The characters are the same as my first story. This story talk about a girl who loves to play football but was too shy to play it with someone because she was afraid if they are going to judge on how she plays, so then another person came and encouraged her to play it with her and she agreed, the girl after that scored a goal and the other who didn't want to play football was a bit embarrassed because she lost but then she understood what she had to deal with in life. i decided to do this story because i love football and it happened to me before i started playing football in the girls football team in primary and high school. The thing that i like about this is if i put it on scratch i can learn new things like maybe how you can walk or run, i haven't tried it yet but i probably will sometime. The thing that i was proud of in this assessment is how i used areal life story in it. I could have improved on improving how my pictures look like and make it on scratch more realistic.

about me

                                                Post Title- Term 3- Scratch Programming Project
 Statement of Inquiry   Computational Creation enables me to be creative
Introduction     In Term 3 we will be working on Scratch programming. This is creative computing and enables us to explore various sprites and commands in Scratch.About MeThe scratch screen comes here.You should also snip tool your codes for the particular screen created
global context:

ATL skills:

Creative Thinking
&
Information Literacy
&
Identities and Relationship

Introduction: 
Why I have chosen Identities and Relationships:
I have chosen identities and relationship because i feel that the things that i am going to be doing about are about my identities and my relationship with my friends and family. I am probably going to do a scratch about me playing football with my friend. The reason that I am going to be doing it about football is because I love playing football. I have played football when i was at a very young age and yet I still play it. But I have had many injuries and that stops me. I will be a lot doing of creative thinking on scratch because I have many ideas I would like to share, and I have learnt a lot in scratch such as doing new things with the characters. I will also be doing lots of research to see what new things scratch can do and have.

                              
Justification: 
 What suits my project? 
Identities
Hobbies
Family and relationships:

All the three things are related because my family and most of my friends are interested in sport, but especially football (soccer). I have been introduced to football because of my dad, i have been trained for a long time, so now i will be taking my hobby to scratch program so i can share it with the rest of the people. One of my identities is playing football and one of my friend’s hobbies is playing football so is my dad’s and brother. Now I will be putting a program on scratch because that is talking about friends. That there is a lonely a girl and that I came and helped her because that before happened to me and we ended up with a good relationship between us. I like playing and doing work on scratch because it is a fun way of showing what you like in such a simple way.






reflection on scratch

what was my inspiration?
My inspiration is to learn how to do many different things on scratch such as the glide changing the background and changing the characters

how did u do that?


what did you get stuck on? how did you get unstuck?
i got stuck on making the background of scratch, but after that i learnt how to do it and ended up creating different backgrounds. I also got stuck on drawing a picture of me  wouldn't want to take a picture so i drew myself .
what are you most proud of?
i ma proud of the moves that i came up with like move 15 degrees left or right or forward and back. My favorite one was the glide. i also liked making the different sounds.
what might you do next?
i could have improved on my dialogue and talking to myself, i could have improved on testing many different new sounds i have only used the drum, but i should have used more sounds to make my scratch more interesting.
