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:
9.45-10.00am. 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 Feather
Runaway Leafs

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.
These "Chinese version" picture books were the starting materials for the Beijing first Spritivity workshop with Chinese students
