Making The Monkey

Article posted January 7, 2008 at 07:41 PM GMT0 • Reads 160

When I followed the tutorial to learn Scratch I found it to be difficult because I felt it was tedious.



We created the monkey game in Scratch, I liked doing it way because I felt successful about the outcome because I did it correctly.



When you teach Scratch to the sixth grade you should do this exactly the same way.



I feel I can make a sprite, make a background, and make them do things.



Someone else might enjoy painting and moving their sprites in Scratch.



I don't wish I could do anything else in Scratch.

I Read Cik Rohaya Ismail



1. On the level of story-telling: if you were the King (or the aliens), would you allow this story-teller to live another day? If no,why not?

I would because I think it was a good story



2. Think of plot—is it original? (If an adaptation, is it creative or interesting to you?)

It is original



3. Think about conflict. Does the story have a natural conflict? Are there complications that add enough suspense, tension, or interest? Is there a climax that satisfies you? Is the resolution satisfying? What could be added or changed?

The story has natural conflict because the girl is small. There are complications that add suspense when the girl finds God.



4. Think of characterization—are the characters realistic? Individual? Do we get a good sense of character from many of these: description, dialogue, narrator's opinion, discussion from other characters, the character’s own actions?

The characters are realistic.



5. Think of word choice, imagery, and details. Do they help you see and hear and experience the story? Do any word choices need changing?

No



6. On the level of "culture"--what do you think this writer is trying to reveal about the culture he/she lives in? Summarize what this story tells/shows about its culture in a sentence or two.

I think that there is not a recognizable culture.



7. Does this revelation of culture possess much insight or show you something unique? Do you get a picture of cultural practices? Of gender roles, love relationships, family roles, habits, religious practices, beliefs, food, social expectations, etc.? Should anything be thrown out? Added?

No



8. What areas of the story need the most improvement?

I don't think that any do.



9. Summarize the theme of the story in a sentence or two. Don't just summarize the story, or say what its topic is--that's not theme. "Theme" is what the story reveals about the topic. So put your theme statement in this sort of pattern: "This story reveals that (topic) is (message about the topic)." Do your best here. You'll show the writer what his/her story DOES say, as opposed to what the writer WANTS it to say.

The story is about a short girl.



10. Be specific, try not to merely write, " this was good", instead explain what was good about it and why.

I liked the story for its writing.
