Summary

I began by explaining structured programming, the sequence structure, the selection structure, and the loop structure. Then I presented andexplained a Scratch program that illustrates the selection structure. (The sequence structure is so simple that it doesn't require an explanation. The loop structure will be explained in a future module.) The program also illustrates the handling of mouse events and Cartesian coordinates.

Finally, I provided the specifications for a student-programming project for you to write to demonstrate your understanding of what you learned from thefirst program.

Copies of both programs have been posted online for your review (see Resources for the URL) . If you don't find the program using that URL, search the Scratch site for the usernamed dbal .

What's next?

In the next module, I will teach you about arithmetic operators. In the two modules following that one, I will teach you about relational and logicaloperators and how to use those operators to write the conditional expressions used in selection and loop structures.
