INTERJECTION PUPPET SHOW
The project being showcased is called“ Interjection Puppet Show.” The students are required to write a script about a group of characters using interjections while having a fluent and natural conversation. After completing the scripts, the students create their own puppets to act as the characters. Students record their own performances and edit their videos. After the assignment is complete, the videos are shown to the rest of the class and the audience members listen for the interjections to record in their journals.
We( Nehir, Deniz Dora, Duygu and Emilia) created a project with an“ under the sea” theme. We had a lot of fun making our ocean puppets- we love making crafts- and we brought in supplies from home to make our characters more beautiful with glitter and bright colors. We wrote our script with the drama of crime and mystery! But in the end, all the problems were solved and the characters were happy with each other.
We( Abidin, Ela, Derin, and Nazım) really wanted to make a funny puppet show with characters that were surprising. So instead of writing a script about a group of people having a conversation, we wrote a story starring Lebron James( a famous basketball player) and three different kinds of meat – his dinner. Lebron has a conversation full of interjections with the meatballs, steak and chicken nuggets that live in his kitchen. He is very surprised that they can speak and they beg him to not eat them, they deserve to live a bit longer!
We( İpek, Selin, Cem, and Defne) wanted to write a story that had an important life message to tell the viewing audience. We wrote a script about two magical creatures( a dragon and a unicorn) having a refereed fight. The message at the end of the story was that fighting won’ t get you very far and that being friends will bring you much more happiness in life! We had a lot of fun making our puppets seem animated for our film. We created lots of different versions of the same characters to show different emotions that they were feeling during the story. This helped our interjections seem more realistic.
