Session one begins with a demonstration of a sock puppet presentation that includes movement, lip syncing to musical lyrics and a spoken word performance. The students will design colorful individual sock puppets using a variety of materials. Then they will begin to learn the basics of puppetry word formation and puppet acting, using eye puppets. They will learn how to sync the opening and closing of the puppet mouth syllable by syllable, and how the mouth works differently in producing vowel and consonant sounds. They will see a presentation about the world of puppetry. They will collaboratively compose a unison spoken word performance piece. In session two the students will receive the completed sock puppets they have designed and learn the rules for working with puppets. They will learn how to make the puppet come alive and move, practice traditional acting exercises to strengthen appropriate emotional and physical self-regulation and lip sync as a group to song lyrics. They will put together the parts of the performance and begin to rehearse. The students will perform in small groups, utilizing and strengthening their responsibility and self-regulation skills to work together collaboratively and with appropriate self-control. Session three begins with a review session. The students rehearse their completed performance piece and perform it. It is videotaped so they can share with anyone not present, and so they can review it themselves to remember what they have learned. Students will retain puppets for further classroom use, or to take home, as the teacher prefers.
