How can students better understand elements of literature, such as plot, cause and effect, characterization, setting, and theme by translating a story into a shadow puppet performance?
In this lesson, the class will transform Brother Cricket and Brother Coyote, a folk tale featured in the class textbook (although this can be adapted to any short story), into a shadow puppet show. The goal of this unit is to help students better understand the elements of literature through an experiential and arts-enriched approach to the content.
