It's not obvious to me that this is a necessary change. I think as written, the assignment is fine.

| 1. Use a **when green flag is clicked** block to place Dino at the top of the stage. No animation, just use a **set y to** block. | ||
| | ||
| 2. Use two more **when green flag is clicked**, to start two **forever** loops that make Dino fall to the bottom of the stage. One will model gravity by subtracting a constant amount from Dino's speed. The second will move Dino by his current speed. | ||
| 2. Create a variable named **speed**. Set **speed** to zero **when green flag is clicked**. | ||
| | ||
| 3. When Dino touches the ground, Dino stops falling. "*Stops falling*" means Dino's speed is set to zero and stays zero as long as he is touching the ground. The **touching color ?** block can be used to detect the grass in the background layer. | ||
| 3. Use two more **when green flag is clicked** blocks, to start two **forever** loops to make Dino fall. | ||
| * One will model gravity by subtracting a constant amount from Dino's speed. Initially try subtracting 0.5 from speed. | ||
| * The second will move Dino in the y-direction by the current speed. | ||

| 4. When Dino touches the ground, Dino stops falling. "*Stops falling*" means Dino's speed is set to zero and stays zero if Dino is touching the ground. The **touching color ?** block can be used to detect the grass in the background layer. |

If we change this section, it should be completely rewritten. "Write a script for the Dino sprite so that:" is not an appropriate lead into "Use a when green flag is clicked ...".
Could you propose a change that makes this whole section clearer?
