You are allowed to choose whatever best suits your story. Supplies will be provided by the teacher with advance notice. However, the majority of your supplies need to be brought in by you, the student. Decide on the type of puppet you would like to create for your character. Draw this puppet and list the supplies needed in your Acting Notebook. Submit for review and discussion with teacher.
