Practicing with puppets

February 28, 2014
Practicing with puppets

The drama class is working on a puppet chapter. They are learning how to use puppets in different ways. They are practicing new techniques. After working on this chapter for a while they have to gather up a group to do a project. The students must make up a skit and preform to the class. I caught the fourth period drama class practicing to preform the next day to the class for a grade. Each student must use the techniques they learned in the resent chapter for their skits.
