🎭 Shadow Puppet Dice Launch

Collaboration Content Expertise Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Submission Required Grading Required

Students watch short Chinese shadow puppetry clips and a brief expert video or cultural partner introduction, then identify how light, silhouette, and simple mechanisms make action clear. After rolling dice to determine creature features, students sketch one puppet concept on a User-Insight Page, add at least one spoken line and one sound effect, and test the puppet idea behind a flashlight-and-screen setup with peers. In a quick critique round, each student gives feedback to 2 peers, receives feedback, and revises the sketch by recording one audience need, one assumption, and one design change for the next phase.
