This document outlines different types of dramatized experiences including formal plays, pageants, tableaus, pantomimes, role playing, and puppets. It describes various puppet types like shadow puppets, rod puppets, hand puppets, and marionettes. Principles for choosing a puppet play emphasize action over words, brevity, and suitability for the audience. Advantages of dramatization are that it is engaging, allows active participation, efficiently conveys concepts, and requires little preparation. Disadvantages can include shyness, disruption, loss of objectivity, and distraction for observers.

3. Dramatized Experiences
 All dramatization is essentially a process of
communication, in which both participant and spectators
are engaged.
 A creative interaction takes place, a sharing of ideas.

4. Kinds of dramatized experiences
 FORMAL PLAY: depicts life,character,or culture or a
combination of all three.
 PAGEANTS: are usually community dramas that are
based on local history, presented by local actors.
 TABLEAU: is a picture-like scene composed of people
against abackground.

5.  PANTOMIME:is an art of conveying a story through
bodily movements only.
 ROLE PLAYING: is an unrehearsed, unprepared and
spontaneous dramatization of a let`s pretend situation where
assigned participants are absorbed by their own roles in the
situation described by the teachers.
 PUPPETS: a movable model of a person or animal used in
entertainment and typically moved either by strings from above
or by hand inside it.

 SHADOW PUPPETS: flat black silhoutte made from light
weight cardboard and shown behind a screen.
 ROD PUPPETS: flat cut out figures tacked to a stick, with
one or more movable parts, and operated from below the stage
level by wire rods or slender sticks.

forefinger of the puppeeeteer, the little finger and thumb being

the puppet show.

the students.

ones)
