Students will begin to appreciate that stories can be told in various ways, not just in written form. They will also encounter the influence literary characters have on everyday expressions in language. Procedure Students select a puppet from the five displayed on the Literary Characters menu page. The next screen to appear will display the selected puppet along with a list of character names and authors. Students must match the image to the appropriate character and author, then verify their answers.
Students can modify their answers until they have made the correct matches.
Students repeat the sequence for each of the five puppets featured on the Literary Characters menu page. Goal Puppet theatre draws from different types of literature from comedy to tragedy. This lesson serves as an introduction to various types of literature. Students will think about the kind of stories they like to read and listen to. If this book is unavailable, any type of story can be used just as effectively.
