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. The activities in this section are ideas for continued study of the puppet theme, grouped according to the subjects of language, art, and science and technology. There are also suggested research topics that students can use. To view these activities, please refer to the extension activities section.
