Teaching Point:

---

Today we will learn how to use Control Blocks to make our Code do more.

Control Blocks

---

We don't want to have to keep writing the same codes over and over again. That is why we use Control Blocks. Control Blocks tell the Sprite to do something more than once. It is easier to use a Control Block that says "Repeat 10 Times" than to write the same code 10 times in a row.

When we want to make something repeat we drag a Control Block onto the screen. We then put the code we want to repeat inside the Control Block. When we do that, the code will work the way the Control Block says.

Today's Assignment
