Recently in One Laptop per Child we have just started creating our own Scratch lessons on the different parts of speech. For mine, to teach students more about the use of adjectives, I created a game on Scratch where they are asked to choose which word best describes different characters. In order to do this, I had to set up a score box that would keep track of the user’s progress, which meant figuring out what code to use for adding/deducting points. I also created a part of the lesson where the user would have to identify which word in a given sentence was the adjective. For this aspect I was able to reuse the code I’d already set up in the previous exercise, where the addition/deduction of points was linked to whether a specific word (the correct answer) was submitted, or if any other answer was given. Other girls in our class are working on similar projects for nouns and verbs, so we will cover the three most basic parts of speech.
