The steps should be broken down into a number of checkpoints. You can add text in bold or italics to add emphasis to key words or important points.

Each checkpoint should clearly explain what the child needs to do.

To aid clarity, you can also include images, like this:

You should also regularly remind children to save their project:

You can add Scratch code to your project like this:

    when flag clicked
    point in direction (120 v)
    set pen color to [#FF0000]
    pen down
    forever
        move (1) steps
        if on edge, bounce
    end

You can test your Scratch code, and there is a guide to adding Scratch blocks to your project notes.

You can also colour-code your text, to match the colour of Scratch blocks.

You can add:

• Motion blocks, for example move (10) steps or if on edge, bounce;
• Event blocks, for example when flag clicked or when I receive [message v];
• Looks blocks, for example show or next costume
• Control blocks, for example forever, or wait (1) secs;
• Sound blocks, for example play sound meow or stop all sounds;
• Sensing blocks, for example key space pressed or ask ... and wait;
• Pen blocks, for example pen down or clear;
• Operator blocks, for example pick random 1 to 10 or 10 * 2;
• Data blocks for variables and lists, for example score or change score by 1;
• More blocks, for example my function.
