Formative Task - Shapes

To test your Scratch program in Full Screen Mode click on the highlighted icon

Scratch allows you to set certain Keys on your Keyboard to run bits of code when you press them.

In the example below I am pressing the following buttons:

S = Draw Square, T = Draw Triangle, P = Draw Polygon, C = Erase All (Clean)

Watch this Shapes video

 

You are going to create your own version of the file demonstrated above. You will need to:

- Resave your Square file and name it Surname_Firstname_Shapes.

- Duplicate your Code twice (one set of code for each shape)

- Use the Blocks shown below to create your code (they are not shown in any particular order)

- Use the Checklist below when you think you have finished to make sure you have done everything
