You didn't need to do that, but I'll probably give you a bit of Extra Credit. But slow down, that is coming later.

1. Tell me your greeting What is your Greeting?

2B. Reply~ “So what am I doing first? ” What type, and what is your response? Rude. My response would be “I can't wait to get started working with you! Could I have a little bit of time to find the best way to teach this? Thanks!” I know this was kind of hard to interpret, but that was actually kind. Key punctuation marks to tell will be~ an absence of “!!!”, and normally very good capitalization. Sometimes, there won't be as good capitalization, but I think you get the point.

3B. Reply~ “fine, but it better woork! what will we do” What type, and what is your response? Rude. “We will be working on (whatever topic). Basically what we are going to do is figure out the best possible way for me to teach you (whatever topic).” Good job ignoring their rude statement!

4B. Reply~ “I'm already really good but this might make me better. I hope I'm not wasting my time” Stubborn. “I hope that you enjoy this experience! Let me know if I'm not explaining this well. Ready to start?” Yep, just make sure to let them know it won't be a waste of time.

For a first assignment, you did pretty good. :) Just remember my tips about identifying them, and this goes to anyone, you can always look at my initial teachings to get your answers! I'd also like for you to answer #1. Extra Credit Opportunities, a very cool Grades-Teller, and more, will be out soon

Announcement!

Extra Credit Opportunity #1 is out! #2 as well!

Lesson 1~ Starting Up

Whether a Finder or a Mentor, your start is key to how the rest of the conversation will go!

If you are Mentoring someone, properly introduce yourself. Be very sure to be kind! You want your New Scratcher to get a good first impression. If you are Finding someone, and you've found them, politely tell them how they seem fairly new to Scratch, and that we will help them if they'd like! If you are cold or rigid, why would they want help from you?

Here are some basic moods of New Scratchers~

Kind

Easy as pie, here. Simply greet them and 1) Play with their kindness, and 2) Be humorous.

Stubborn
First of all, introduce yourself. Say that they respond with something like, “I don't need a Mentor!” or, “Well, I don't need much help.”

The best response would be, “Oh, well, okay! If you would like one in the future, just take a look here~ (Link to Main Thread)! We can really help. ” or “Well, I'll see what I can do for you.

You have to 1) Act like you didn't realize their stubborn statement and 2) Offer your services anyway!

Rude
First of all, introduce yourself. Say that they respond with something like, “I don't need a Mentor!” or, “Okay, so when are we going to do something!?”

The best response would be, “Oh, well, okay! If you would like one in the future, just take a look here~ (Link to Main Thread)! We can really help. ” or “We will start up shortly.

You have to 1) Act like you didn't realize their rude statement and 2) Don't force anything! If you say, “Come on! join!” they might be offended, and that would seal the chances of them joining!

As you can see, New Scratchers can have a variety of emotions. After all, they are new! So, your assignment is to respond to these 3 situations below, and tell me which situation is which New Scratcher emotion- (“A”s are for Finders; “B”s for Mentors!)

1. Tell me your greeting

2A. Reply~ “i don't need a menttor! im rlly good at scratch alredy” What type, and what is your response?

2B. Reply~ “So what am I doing first? ” What type, and what is your response?

3A. Reply~ “umm… well, I guess so? it seems pretty cool. where do i start” What type, and what is your response?

3B. Reply~ “fine, but it better woork! what will we do” What type, and what is your response?

4A. Reply~ “it seems like you guys dont do much. if you were bettr, maybe.” What type, and what is your response?

4B. Reply~ “I'm already really good but this might make me better. I hope I'm not wasting my time”
