Puppet Talk!

"Hi! I am Anne Frank. I am pleased to be with you today!"

1.     Have your book biography OK’D.

2.     Read and enjoy your book.

3.     Make a hand puppet of the person your book is about.

4.     You will need to conduct an interview with your puppet in front of the class.

5.     Start your interview with a short introduction of your “guest.” Tell who he or she is, why the person is important enough to have a book about himself or herself, and when he or she lived.  If your book doesn’t tell you this, you may need to do some quick research!

6.     Use the following questions in your interview:

·        What is the title of the book about you?

·        Who wrote this book?

·        What part of your life does this cover?

·        Where does this book take place?

·        What was the _________ part of the book? ( choose one-funniest, saddest, happiest, scariest, most exciting, boring)

·        What did you like best about the way the author told your story?

·        What did you like least about the way author told your story?

Optional questions:

·        Did the author talk about why you were famous?

·        Did the author talk about your family?

·        Did the author include anything that you wish he or she would not have?

·        Ask anything you would like to know!

Be Dramatic! Have fun!
