I suggest changing the color of the block parameters so that they are not the same as those of the variables.  
I noticed that this creates problems for the students when they watch what the teacher has done and show on the board. They confuse and create variables.

Just to make sure that I understand, in the image below we’d change the color of the mySprite parameter in the `set mySprite auto destroy off` block to a different color? So instead of:

I didn’t quite get it. Here mySprite cannot be a parameter to the on start method.
