Day 2: Students will edit and practice puppet show. Please DO NOT use any crazy / altered voices in your performance. It is difficult to understand you when you do not speak normally. You will use the figures / animals that we have in class. You will use the video box to move the figures / animals while performing the puppet show.

(Note for reader: The "video box" is a packing box placed on its side. The back of the box (which would be the bottom of the box) is partially covered by a curtain. The students would move the figures around the box for the puppet show. The video camera can be static, for example on a tripod, and will be focused on the inside of the box.)

Day 3: Students will video the puppet show in the video box. After evaluation by the teacher, all videos will be enjoyed by the class.
