Re: teaching programing by scratch
Check out the "Programming Concepts in Scratch 1.3" handout posted at http://info.scratch.mit.edu/Educators . I've used it to talk about the vocabulary/concepts of programming a concept or two at a time, then given students simple programming challenges where they have to apply each concept set.
When you finish your project, tell us about it!

The link had a period next to it that was preventing it from working. I fixed it, try it again.

Oops!
Here is another reference for you, a professor's detailed explanation of Scratch from the programmer's point of view. It is too much for younger kids, but might help with your own thinking.
