Preamble and presentation
Le logo...
Developed in 1981 by Papert, the language of
Logo programming and its famous turtle
moving (a simple point) has experienced a boom
important in the world of education in
the 80s/90s.

The new program projects of 2016
emphasizing a gradual awakening to programming. "From the second year of elementary school,
students can code movements using software
adapted programming, which will lead them at the end of CE2 to the
understanding, and the production of simple algorithms." In Cycle 3 it
It is stated that students "learn to use calculation software".
and programming initiation.
Scratch...
Scratch, created by M.I.T., meets this need.
It is free software already making reference to

for offline work. (without connection)
It is also accessible on Mac Tablet or
Android, and a Scratchjr version allows for a
introduction to programming with students of
GS to CP.
Scratch is a dynamic programming language that allows
in a playful way the creation of animations, skits or interactive games.
It is a tool for introducing students to programming.
and the logic.
Through the manipulation of bricks, the student learns to define then
assembler, objects, actions and events to achieve a
initially defined class objective.
The initial classroom construction thus allows the student a
Logical and thoughtful research approach.

Scratch... Why do it?
What objectives to pursue with Scratch in the classroom?
Create content and not just consume it.
Cooperate with peers to achieve a common goal.
Develop skills and practice expressing oneself differently.
Learn to tell stories with games and animations.
Encourage students to take risks without consequences

Develop self-confidence and allow for everyone's inclusion
Learn to solve problems and mobilize thinking

Possible objectives
Move the character with the arrows.
Make the character automatically move along a path
(from point A to point B, in a maze...)
Make the character speak when an object is touched.
Cross the finish line without touching a moving object.

Example of script and detail
Objective (progressive) for the students:
Make the sprite move (character of the
middle) by the arrows.
If he touches the cat, it meows.
-...and the sprite says hello through a speech bubble.
If he touches the fish, the latter says
Hello
.and the sprite says hello through a comic bubble.
- The sprite returns to its position in the middle.
Starting element
Continuous applicable actions.
Reduce the initially oversized sprite by 50 %
If the right key on the keyboard is activated, then...
...the sprite takes its costume named "costume_droite"...
...and advance 3 units to the right.
If the left key of the keyboard is activated, then...
...the sprite takes its costume named "costume_left"...
...and moves back 3 units; that is to say, it moves 3 units to the left.
If the fish image on the left is touched, then...
...the "cuckoo" sound is played and then...
...the sprite says Hello through a comic bubble that appears for 2 seconds...
...and returns to its position in the middle. (the position of the sprite is accessible under
the control screen
If the fish image on the left is touched, then...
...the sound "meow" is played and then...
...the sprite says Hello in a comic bubble that appears for 2 seconds...
...and returns to its position in the middle.
