Differentiation

Let ākonga get creative with the backdrop and sprites.

Prompt learners with different questions to adapt the complexity of the self-introduction.

Extension

Challenge your learners to add audio files to their code so that their sprite can respond to questions ‘vocally’.

About Activity

This session has ākonga to use the Scratch Jr interface to create a sprite character that represents themselves, combining the graphic sprite image with a real ‘selfie’ digital photo of their face.

Students will create an avatar of themselves and code it to present a self-introduction in response to simple questions about themselves, including in te reo Māori.
