In this unit, you will learn more about programming,

direction and movement. You will discover how to make
two-dimensional (20) shapes using algorithms and how to
program these using Scratch. You will explore this process by
following algorithms that create a shape and debug algorithms
to check that they create a shape correct y. You will use the pen
tool in Scratch and design your own program and experiment
with creotinq custom blocks. Then, you will use these blocks to
create colourful repeating patterns.

. . A classmate is creating an image using multiple shapes in
Scratch. Select three pieces of good advice from the list below.

A Reduce the size of the sprite.

B Avoid using custom blocks to create shapes.

C It is better to program graphics with multiple shapes

in just one go.

D Try and point the sprite in the same direction after

drawing each shape.

E Use the pen up block to stop drawing and move

between shapes .

The best way to debug an algorithm is

to like a computer.
To debug, read the _
or code carefully and think how a
________ would do that
command. Then check again, until you
have checked all of the algorithm and
spotted any ,
