Puppet Show!

In this theme ‘How the world works’ the second graders learnt about different types of light and its history. For their summative assessment, they performed a puppet show about the different types of light. We had a total of sixteen groups as the students were separated into eight groups for each class. The students picked their topic from a draw, and the topics were as following…

● Stone Age and the use of fire

● Egyptians and the use of the sundial

● Medieval and the use of torch

● Now and the use of electricity

● The Future light and what it could be like

After their topics were decided, their first step was to brainstorm and complete their mind map. The mind map included the title of their play, the setting, the beginning, middle and end of their play and the appearance of their characters. After that, the students wrote their script together.

Although both tasks were time consuming and challenging, it is surprising to see the creativity of the students as each story was engaging and structured. After much practice, the puppet shows were a success. Congratulations to the students for their hard work and great performance.
