Scratch Exquisite Corpse Workshop

Suggested process:

• Gather scratchers away from computers to present the idea of an Exquisite Corpse. Go over the outline of what they're going to do.
• Divide Scratchers up into groups of 3-4. Two seems like too few for surprising things to happen, and with five you would start to run into more issues with one or two being behind the others.
• Everyone starts on their own computer with an empty project. At the end of each step they rotate to a different computer in their 'group'
• Step 1 - Create a sprite: encourage (require) them to draw their own sprite rather than using one of the ones from the library or an online image. (about 5 minutes)
• Step 2 - Make the sprite do something: The attached activity plan has a minimum of making the sprite say something and change somehow. (about 10 minutes)
• Step 3 - Add a background - (5 minutes or less)
• Step 4 - Add a second sprite - (about 5 minutes)
• Step 5 - Make it interactive - (about 10 minutes)
• Step 6 - Wrap it up - a final 5 minutes to add any finishing touches.
• Have everyone present the project from their original (or final) computer.
