Art and Music with Scratch
The lesson begins with a quick demonstration of two programs:

The Kaleidoscope program distributed with Scratch
-
Elephant Swirl, a new program

Announce that today we are going to work on art and music, since you often need both to create games
-
Encourage the students to open the interactive art Scratch demos and change them
-
Help each student start a project that is saved with their name in s:\scratch
-
Encourage each student to write about what they are trying to do
