Scratch is Going Green

Once you complete your Scratch To Do List, you will begin working on a project proposal for your Scratch is Going Green project. The goal of the project is to use Scratch to create an interactive story promoting environmental awareness. This proposal should be presented to Mr. Madson for approval before you commence work on the project. Below are some links to get you started.
