Introduction
In Pulling strings students investigate forms of puppetry used
in contemporary and historical cultures in order to provide understanding
of the contexts in which puppets and puppetry occur.
Students develop skills in and knowledge about designing puppets in response
to a design brief. They develop and communicate ideas about a puppet design
appropriate for an intended performance and explain why the design option
they have chosen addresses the purpose better than other options. They plan
and make their puppet following the design brief and drawing on knowledge
of simple mechanical production. They reflect on the progress of the puppet
and the processes used.
As a concluding activity, students present a puppet show, in groups, pairs
or individually, using ideas and scripts developed during the unit.
This unit provides opportunities for students to demonstrate achievement
against the standards in Interpersonal Development, English, the Arts, Design,
Creativity and Technology, Information and Communications Technology and Thinking
Processes.
