Guide students to compare and contrast information. Prompt them to use descriptive vocabulary to describe their puppet. Divide the class into pairs. Have them create puppets and plan a puppet show with them. This can be a written script or simply discussed and practiced.
Present puppet shows as students are ready.
This may include laser discs, CD's, videos, books, Internet. Have students use puppets with reader's theatre scripts. Take the children to StageHandPuppets where you can make a puppet on the Internet. They can create it and print it. Invite puppet performers or guest speakers from your community to give a puppet show and talk with your students about puppets.
