The
second Spritivity workshop at Jubilee School
In
April 2007 Liu Yang at Zenzone Media Lab made an electronic
version of an
A4-size sticker sheet for each
of the 32 Sprites
made by the Jubilee students during the first Spritivity
workshop and emailed these to Patrick Humphreys at The
London MultiMedia Lab at LSE.
Patrick Humphreys printed eight copies of the sets of
sprite stickers on A4 adhesive-backed paper sheets, so that
each group of students in the Jubilee Second workshop will
have enough sprite stickers to create a book.
Schedule for the second Spritivity workshop
This workshop took place with Morag Scott’s Year 5 class on
the morning of Friday 11 May 2007. The schedule was:
9.45-10.00.am. The workshop was introduced by Patrick
Humphreys
10.00 –10.40am. The students worked in five small groups.
Each group created a story to turn into a picture book.
Everybody could choose any of the 32 sprites made in the
first workshop, that he or she liked, to act as
story-characters in the picture book
10.40
-10.55am Break (playtime)
10.55 - 12.05am. Each group made a picture book telling and
showing the story they had created
♦
The size of each picture book pages was A4(21cm x 29cm)
landscape
♦
Text could be written and pictures could be drawn on each
page of the book .
♦
Each picture book contained up to 8
picture–pages.
12.05 -12.20pm. When the book was finished, the group that
made it created a title page (to go inside the front cover)
and filled in the label to stick on the back cover for each
picture book. The label on the back cover gives the name(s)
of the creator(s) of the book, an email address, the name
of the school, the school year (grade) of the students and
the teacher’s name
♦
The students put the picture book pages in the correct
order and fixed them in the clip binder

Every student also had a
Spritivity guide
and could answer the questions in it, if they wished.
The
students put their completed picture books in the
Spritivity Magic Bag for sending the picture books and
sprites to the students in the Schools in China who will
read the books and use the sprites in making their own
picture books.
These are the titles of the five picture
books made at this workshop:
Battle for Friendship
Invaders
It Never
Works
The Magic

After the second workshop at Jubilee
School
The
five picture books were scanned by Patrick Humphreys at the
London Multimedia Lab LML (London) Ai Yu translated the
text of the books into Chinese and and then we made a
"Chinese version of each picture book, with the title in
both English and Mandarin characters all the English text
within it replacd by Mandarin characters.

materials for the
