Types of Puppetry
You can choose any of the 5 options above to construct your puppets for the performance. You may use one type for all the characters or 5 different types in one show. 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.
