Personal Story-Feeling Research Page and Mini Puppet Plan
Each child creates a teacher-supported page showing one familiar story moment, the feeling in that moment, and a matching puppet or costume idea. The page includes a dictated caption or child dictation so the child can explain how the character feels and what they want to try in performance.
Class Story Performance and Gallery Walk with Painted Scenes, Props, and Puppets
The class works together to create a short performance for visiting students, using songs, movement, voices, props, puppets, and costume pieces. They also share a gallery of painted story scenes and labels that explain characters, feelings, and story choices.
