Samantha,
Check out this page on our website:

	http://www.alice.org/index.php?page=Garfield/Garfield <http://www.alice.org/index.php?page=Garfield/Garfield>

This is an Alice 2 tutorial using the Garfield models. This is the same Alice tutorial available in the Hour of Code…

Alice 2 also has Alice 2 tutorials built in to the software…

I think you will want to visit the website maintained by Dr Susan Rodger at Duke University… There are many resources here that I think you will find helpful…

Hope that this helps...

All the best,

I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

The true object of all human life is play. -- G.K. Chesterton
