Notes

  1. Draw characters or objects for your project.   Select, copy and paste each one into a shape.  

  2. Hatch a turtle for each character or object, and place one of the shapes on it.

  3. Draw a background for your first page.  

  4. Create several more pages for your project.   Rename them to describe each page.   Use one-word names, or connect two words with an underline (_).   Include text and drawings (or turtles wearing shapes).

    Leave your first page named page1.   Page1 will appear first when the project is opened.   If you do not have a page1, then the project will open to the most recent page from your last visit.  

  5. On the first page, right-click/ctrl-click on each turtle to open its dialog box.   For its instruction, write the name of a page.   Click OK.   The page will open when this turtle is clicked.  

    (It's a good idea if the character or object has something to do with the page that opens when that turtle is clicked.)

  6. Be sure that you have a way to move from each page back to page1 or to another page.   (For instance, you could place the back arrow shape on a turtle and give that turtle the instruction, page1.)




What If?
Can you click on a turtle to open a page if that page has a two-word name?


Challenge
Can you travel from page to page using forward arrows as well as back arrows?
