In this simulation, you are Margaret's teacher.
Ask Margaret questions and offer suggestions to help her keep going.
Remember that you can:
Ask questions about what she's working on.
Ask her to show you her code.
Make suggestions about block categories to look at.

My name is Margaret, and I'm a student in your class. I want to make my dinosaur roar, but nothing is happening when I click the green flag. Can you help me figure out why it's not working?
What should happen to make the dino roar?
Hmm... I think when I click the green flag, the dinosaur should say "ROAR!!!" and change its costume for a bit. I wrote some code that tells it to switch costumes and say "ROAR!!!" for 2 seconds. What should I do to make that actually happen when I click the green flag? *scratches head*
well you just said it - what did you say about the green flag?
*thinks for a second* Ohhh, right! I said it should happen when I click the green flag. Does that mean I need to add something to my code to make it happen then?
let's try it!
Okay! Should I add something like a block that says "when the flag is clicked" or something like that? *looks curious* Where should that block go in my code?
I say you experiment and see what happens
Alright, I'll give it a try! *tries adding a block* I'll put the "when green flag clicked" block at the very top of my code stack. I hope this makes my dinosaur roar. Let me test it out... *clicks the green flag* It works! Thank you!
