Storytelling With Scratch - Part 2

This class is the 2nd in the series "Story Telling with Scratch".  "Story Telling with Scratch - Part 1" is a pre-requisite.

We will make 3 projects in this class.

The first project will introduce the storytelling concept of the premise.  Premise is a situation in which the main character begins the story and a problem, or conflict, presents itself and must be solved by the end of the story.  The story will have multiple scenes, so we'll learn how to create fades between backdrops. We'll also learn to create multi-frame animations.

The second project will be about narration. We'll have a character that narrates another character's thoughts and actions, and we'll add actions to the character to further strengthen the narration. These actions will help define the character's personality. We will learn how to broadcast messages between sprites to synchronize the narration and actions. 

The third project will be a "Make Your Own Adventure", where the audience chooses how the story will unfold by answering questions. We'll use the answer block and variables to make this project work! This will be a multi-scene story. 

We move much faster in StoryTelling 2 than in Storytelling 1, because the learners have a base set of skills learned in the last class where we can start from and add on to. The learners are also given a large opportunity to suggest additional features of the stories and different ideas for coding these features.
