  Elements of ScratchProgramming  There are four main elements of Scratch: 1. The stage, 2. The sprites, 3. The script 4. Programming palette.  These elements can be compared to a play.
• 18.
  Stage  Similar tothe stage in a play. This is where everything will take place.  The stage can be different backgrounds just like in a play.
• 19.
  Sprites  Sprite arethe actors or main characters of the project.  Sprites are programmed to do something in Scratch.
• 20.
  Script  Script tellsthe actors what to say or do.  Each sprite is programmed with a script.
• 21.
  Programming palette  Programmingpalette are elements used to program the sprite to do or say something.  Sprites must be programmed to carry out every function you want them to perform.
