Success will be in the creation of a puppet that each child will take pride in ; The outcomes of this project will involve each child making three hand puppets by the end of the residency. These puppets will have animal these and cartoon character representations.. We will see that learning has taken place in the creation of puppets that each child makes during this week. With this puppet each child will be asked to bring his/her puppet alive with different voice variations and on basic story themes. We will also ask each teacher to do a written evaluation of the week on how their children did in creating their puppets. Finally a number of the children will be asked on how they felt about the week and the special highlights they will remember; We will look at the puppets to see if the children have mastered the basic techniques of puppet creation.
