==Title: Puppets Pt. 1 : Planning the Puppet Show ==

Learning Targets:

 * 1) I can I can use the words “Puppet,” “puppeteer,” “script,” “practice” and “performance”
 * 2) can make a plan for a puppet show.

Engage:
==Bring out a puppet to show the students. Pass the puppet around the circle, and have each student try it on. Ask: What do we need to do our own puppet show? ==

Access:
Watch video: Brian & Kermit: Here and There from Sesame Street

Ask ( review): is that a real frog? Is that a real boy? How does Kermit move? What is the name of the job of the person moving it? Where is he or she?

Analyze:
==Ask: What do we have to do to make or do to create our own puppet video? Write down answers on paper, and do simple drawings to illustrate each one, and place it on the board with a magnet Watch video: How to put on a puppet show. After each segment in the video go back to the list and ask if there is anything we need to add to the list. ==

Act:
Now that we know what belongs on the list, lets put it in order: Have students come up to the board one at a time, and pick which one comes next.

Final plan should include:

Write script

Make Puppets

Practice

Perform

Reflect:
Review each step with the class. Let them know that we will be spending a lot of time on each one.
