| ===Writing Machine Group 3: The Interpersonal Words Chain (exquisite corpse)===
| |
| [[File:Writing machine.png|thumb|The Interpersonal words chain]]
| |
| | |
| A chain of words, where the starting point is a word from someones personal notes from the class
| |
| | |
| Each person sees only the word of the person before them, and picks a word from the notes they associate with the previous word
| |
| | |
| The words are notated on one side of a notebook
| |
| | |
| The next round goes against reading direction
| |
| | |
| Words can be read in increments of 5 words, but also by order of the book.
| |
| | |
| Sentences can be read per 5, the number of the people in the group
| |
| | |
