I would encourage them to try it and then to teach me how it works. I would also ask them what drawer it is from and what is the general purpose of code blocks in that drawer.
Answer
Refer them to some resources like the Cookbook (or for older students, maybe the YouTube channel) and let them run with it.
Answer
I would have them tell me what they want the code to make the computer do and try to assemble the blocks in that order. I would also ask them if their drawers and drop downs were filled correctly.
Answer
"Wow, I don't know how to use that. See if you can find examples from another person's code where that block is being successfully used."
Answer
Tell them..."I'm not sure but try it and see what happens...Maybe we'll both learn something
Answer
Wow, that's fascinating. I haven't tried that yet. What are you trying to do? Describe the code block to me. What kind of input / output does the code block want? What have you tried?
Answer
Say to student: Man wonder what they do!!! What do the directions say it will do? Click on them and add them to the code and see what happens, doesn't hurt.
