Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The children will experience the following measurable outcomes a. They will be able to create and make a simple hand puppet with different types of animal story and television characters. They will also learn how to make their puppets come alive with colors, voice variations and special movements. b. In making their puppets the children will have their first artistic experience with a true creative artist with a fun theme. They will be laying the foundations for artistic learning in using many different artistic materials and themes c. 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. It will be interesting to see if the materials they choose are recycled ones.

Measurable Outcome(s)
