On this project students will need to add the "Pen" code pallete in Scratch. At the bottom of the Code Blocks section there is a button to access the additional code blocks. It looks like this:

Once students click on it, they will be able to find the "Pen" Pallete of code blocks.

Hope one of these projects works for your class. Happy coding!
