    Solution



    Teacher's Instruction
    1. Teachers should teach the concept of programming.
    2. Teachers should demonstrate how to insert a backdrop and a sprite.
    3. Teachers should clarify the difference between a backdrop and a sprite.
    4. Explain about Costumes. Backdrops do not have costumes but sprites do. We can change the costumes for sprites during Program execution.
    5. Use the label the parts.png file to know about the parts of the Scratch window.
