You can submit your description of your project on Canvas now. Just copy and paste your description into canvas and submit.

Be careful when adding objects to your project. Once added objects are hard to remove if you have code that refers to that object. All references to the object must be removed before the object can be removed.

To delete an object open the scene panel and then go to the properties section. Find the object you want to delete and then click the black triangle next to the object to see your options, one of those options is to delete the object.

Go to Google Classroom to get your copy of the google document to use for section 2-12 instead of using the regular lesson.

- Statements that clearly identify the purpose or the functionality of blocks of programming statements in your program, but do not affect the functionality of your program.
- A list of actions to perform a task or solve a problem.
- The process where the software program converts your code into the animation that you see.
- A detailed, ordered list of actions that each object performs within each scene of the animation.
