CURRICULUM INTEGRATION SUGGESTIONS:
English Language Arts

• Students compare the script and characters from a jazz video to figures in a drawing or jazz painting.. Students examine existing Playbills and then create one as a class for your performance. Assign small groups responsibility for various aspects (list of characters and related performers, performer biographies, credit list [for scenery, lighting, stage hands], etc.).
• Students use photographs of the puppet performance to create a storyboard for a movie script, writing in director and camera operator directions.

Fine and Performing Arts

• Students create a dance version from a jazz video
  options: http://www.fitnessbeginnings.com/jazz.html
  having each child communicate what he or she knows about his or her puppet character through body movement. Assign a "director" and "choreographer" to help the class work toward a final, integrated performance. Students view a videotaped dance version of jazz video and compare and contrast it to both the student-puppet performance and the video Students explore stories told through music and/or puppetry throughout the world. Students expand their investigation from the "Social Studies" tie-in above by researching the costumes of the various traditions around the world. Ask students to explore whether and/or how the puppet costumes relate to traditional garments in their respective societies.
• Students plan and construct murals as the scenery for the puppet performance.

Mathematics

• Students time each part of the performance during rehearsals. They then create a math equation to check if the entire final performance can be completed within the allotted session, deciding as a group where to shorten sections, if necessary. They then create and post a performance schedule to help everyone keep on time.

Science

• Students explore the mechanics of hand, rod, shadow, and string puppets (addressing such concepts as use of force, levers, push and pull, and light and shadow).

Social Studies:

• Small groups use the Internet and/or library materials to investigate puppetry traditions and their specific meaning and function in cultures around the world. Have teams present their findings to one another, accompanied by visual aids based on their research.
