Overview
This resource teaches students how to create their own sprites in Scratch instead of only using the built-in characters. Students learn to draw a sprite in the Paint Editor using shapes, colors, the pen tool, and text. They also learn to upload an image from their computer and turn it into a sprite. The lesson reviews the three ways to add a sprite to a project: choose from the library, paint, or upload. A thinking question about removing a sprite and a challenge to create two sprites, one drawn and one imported, help students practice what they learned.
