You have some choices here. 1. You can do this on your own, or you can work as a pairs. 2. Your project can be to do one of the following:


 * Tell a story ** about something which has significance to the local community, the whole school, the whole of Auckland, all of New Zealand, or the Pacific, or indeed the world.
 * OR **
 * Design ** a game that could be used by Year 8 students to help them understand a topic from one of your Year 8 clases that you have studied this year.

You will need to explore the Scratch Tutorials in Section 2 and Section 3 to learn the techniques for organising and creating your program. Before you begin, you must get approval from Mrs Beadle for your project. This means that you must come up with a plan for your final project before you start working on it.  Project approved first.
