🎭 Behind the Screen Spark

Students rotate through launch stations using flashlights, translucent paper, sample shadow puppets, photographs, artifacts, and short bilingual audio clips from community stories. In small groups, they create quick freeze-frames, soundscapes, and improvised shadow moments to test how light, silhouette, scale, and movement communicate emotion and meaning. The class closes with the driving question, a brief overview of the 10-day process, and a story-to-stage journal entry identifying one real experience or community moment they may want to investigate further.
