As a result of this project, students and families of the Bagley Community Schools will experience an arts event that will bring new skills of art making with puppeteering, and stilting, and storytelling of an Anishinaabe tale. Students and families will individualize the characterization of the subjects of the pageant. and participate in an interactive art fair presentation that includes the characters created for this project. The prompts used for the participants will be during the second week of the project. After the project, participants will complete a short survey that will measure the new skills they have learned. The surveys used for the audience will be administered during the actual presentation and will be collected to see how the audience reacted to the story and the presentation. The artists will have a wrap up of how things worked.
