Debug It! 5

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/22925188/

In Debug It 5, the Scratch Cat should be saying, "Meow, meow, meow!" when the green flag is clicked in the speech bubble and it should have a sound as well. The speech bubble happens before the sound, however, and the cat only makes one 'Meow' sound. To fix the problem, I needed to check why only one meow sound was happening. In the "sound" tab, there is a block that says "play sound meow until done". After the block that signals Scratch Cat to say "Meow, meow, meow", the "play sound" tab will go under it and then signal the sound to play until the cat is done talking.

One strategy I used was I looked into the blocks and found what I could use to make the sound play until the cat was done talking.

This could be a good way to teach someone how to debug by helping them learn to look at all of their options and see what they could do to make their project work the way they wanted it to.
