Exquisite Corps

I had a blast doing the exquisite corps activity with my class at the Middle School. The students seemed genuinely interested and it appeared as though they had a lot of fun. It's incredible how much trial and error effect your lesson plans. You write down teacher/student activity but there's always that element of surprise. I first asked the students to participate in an exquisite corps activity focusing on "What they want to be when they grow up". This theme seemed very suiting for students in Middle School. After the activity was finished I recommended they play this game at home with friends or family. I noticed many students faces lit up when I suggested they play with the theme of their "favorite animal". A few of the students mentioned they wish we had played with that theme instead because they were unsure of what they wanted to be when they grew up.
