This week we will teach the face we drew to walk around the screen.

1. Open your face picture from last week, or draw a new one and call it 'face'.

2. Open the face's 'viewer'.

3. Drag an emptyScript tile from the viewer onto the background - it becomes 'script1'.

4. Drag 'forward by' and 'turn by' scripts onto 'script1'.

5. Click the clock to run your script - what happens?

6. Open the 'Supplies' tab and drag a 'random' tile onto the turn amount. What happens to your face's movement? What happens if you change the amount to 90? 30? 10? 5?

7. Drag a new 'turn by 5' tile, and click the 'right arrow' to add another amount. Change '+' (add) to '-' (subtract) and drag another 'random' tile onto the amount. Set the random amount to 10.

8. Now at each step your face will turn by -5, then add a turn of between 0 and 10 to the -5. so that at each step it turns randomly between -5 and +5 degrees.
