One debugging strategy that I used was to test out a bunch of the blocks until one of them worked to solve my issue. If I could help someone else I would suggest to take your time and go through a bunch of blocks that could be possible to work and try/rearrange them until they do.

10 Blocks Challenge
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/22868320/
This activity helped me learn Scratch because it helped me get comfortable with all the block options so I could learn what action each of them could carry out.
The 10 block restraint impacted my ideas because I was limited to those 10, meaning I couldn't use any more or any less. By being able to limit my work to the 10, I was able to figure out how to create a project with just that amount, even though I probably could have kept building off of it if I wanted to.

Scratch Beginning Questions
The most surprising thing about this activity was how easy it was to follow the directions and continue with the tutorial. If the computer said to grab a block, it was simple to do so and make the cat either turn colors, or make noise, etc.
Although it was slightly frustrating to be lead very slowly through this activity, it was helpful to learn about the website.
As a learner, I like having more structure in assignments that require a step by step process, so when using Scratch, for example. I like having more freedom when assignments are more casual, open-minded, and don't always require a right answer. I feel the most creative when I have ideas set in front of me and I am able to pursue and explore them. I also usually feel creative when I am introduced to a new website and am allowed to explore.

Introduction:
→This is a representation of my first attempt to successfully use and create an HTML code, so I decided to make it all about me. In this webpage, I have included some facts about myself, as well as shared my most-used links and my color preferences. Some of my recently-used websites are as follows:
Favorites:
→The column to the left includes a few of my favorite things. My favorite type of dog is a husky because they are beautiful animals and extremely friendly and loyal. My favorite place would have to be the beach because that is where everything is care-free and you don't have anything to worry about besides whether the tide will reach your chair.
Athletics:
→The sport I participate in, track and field, is very rigorous. Track is a very competitive sport that is thrilling to both watch and take part in.
