Students will learn about puppets and puppeteering skills. After practicing their new skills, students will use repurposed materials, plus their problem solving and engineering skills, to build multiple types of puppets. Once built, students will work together to animate their puppets to create a theatrical moment. In small groups, students will then write short scripts for their puppets and collaborate to perform them. The subject of student scripts can be aligned with curriculum. Classroom teachers have opted for adaptations of scenes from novels, dramatic biographical writings about contemporary or historical figures, reenactments of speeches and autobiographical personal stories that explore an assigned theme.
