Listening to storytelling or reading is an
individual activity, even if the story is presented to a group of children;
dramatization of a story is a collective activity. Dramatization of a story
means that we are “inside” of events and not “outside”, as often in story
reading activity. “the pupils can be liberate to explore, what they understand
of the original author’s ideas, they can embellish, expand, create ones…They
become a powerful community with the ability to solve problems and resolve
dilemmas” (Toye & Prendiville, 2000, p18). Individual experience is
juxtaposed with a social context in ‘acting out’ the story, which is very
important for young children.

Quite
simply, a puppet is an inanimate object, constructed of wood, cloth, plastic,
cardboard, papiermâché, or any other type of material, brought to life and
personified by the puppeteer. The puppet does not need
to look like a human being, rather it must act like one.
This is
the puppeteer’s job and it will be discussed later.
