Lesson 1
[|Motion and Sound]
 * Task** You need to reproduce the dance in Lesson 1 and show it to your teacher.

Lesson 2
[|Repeating Actions]
 * Task** As in the videos make sure your sprite's dance will repeat forever. Make sure your script (this is what your program is called) starts with a **green flag**.

Lesson 4
[|Create Your Own Sprites]
 * Task** Make a new script using a different sprite (character)

Lesson 5
|Speaking and Thinking] Perhaps you can do this in your own language as well
 * Task** Get your sprite to say and think something, then try to get two sprites to have a short conversation, such as:
 * Hello
 * Hello
 * How are you?
 * I am very well thank you. And you?
 * I am also well

Lesson 6
[|Creating Image Effects]
 * Task** Play with some of the special effects so that you know what they all do

Lesson 7
[|Sounds, Voices and Music]
 * Task** Play with the sounds. Make sure you can record something and get you sprite to use it.

Lesson 8
[|Creating Animations]
 * Task** Produce an animation using some of the costumes built in to the program.

These lessons should give you a basic understanding of how the program works and some of the things you can do with your sprites using scripts.
