Meet up number 1.

Today we met up and discussed where we are up to so far..

We decided to write out our lists of words to use on our promt cards.

We came up with the following categories:

Legs
Eyes
Arms
Body Shapes
Facial Features

We decided to create 36 cards for each group, as there are around 30 students. We made extra as a kind of safety net incase anything unplanned happened (incase any were ruined, torn etc., incase a child really did protest with a card and wanted to swap)

The lists are as follows:

We decided to take out "spots" and just duplicated another word we already had.

We the typed this up on Adobe In Design. We used a base sheet of A3, used Arial Bold font (an easy to read, simple font) in black, font size 36pt.

We chose this font as it is easy to read, we are not trying to be condescending towards the children, but keeping the font large and bold is just easier to read.

We drew a grid on the page, and filled in the sections with our words. There were 32 recangular sections on each A3 page.

Once the words were typed up we printed them onto thick cartridge paper, rather than regular paper as the cards would be a bit sturdier.

By this point it was quite late so we all went our separate ways and left our printed sheets safely in one of the lockers in the studio.
