In todays lecture (19/4/13) guest speaker Kay
Yasugi Pupperoos introduced the topic of puppets where we looked at the
following: what is puppetry?, History of puppetry, types of puppets, the 5Ps of
Puppeteering, etc. In the lecture Kay brought out the different types of
puppets and explained how they can be used and made. I found this lecture fun and entertaining.
Kay believes "puppets are important for
students as it its engaging in getting people attention- it’s good for multiple
intelligences, good for visual learns, good for communication and good for shy
students, puppets were students are behind the screen are good for students,
it’s good for confident/ extroverted students and good for all ages and
abilities"
In
relation to my teaching practices allowing students to explore a range of
puppets is meaningful. I would use puppets in teaching students spelling rules,
repetition, talking and listening activities, writing tasks, modelled writing/
joint construction etc.
