When I have been involved with beginning level workshops for both Processing and PD the approach Hans and hard off suggest is definitely the best. Miller taught a workshop here a while ago where he had the students build several small patches, each subsequent patch used some part of the previous as a starting point so students got some sense of continuity and learned a method by which they could continue to work after the class - it gave them a small toolbox to work with later. Golan Levin and Casey Reas each do the something similar to introduce Processing.
