skill?)
I will collect the quiz given to the students at the end of the
fairytale being read and the paper they use to write their

your evidence into a class or group view?)
I will use a rubric, so I have a basis of the standards that
the students should be meeting with this activity.

Puppet, Play, Stage, Act
Procedural steps:
First: I will have already created a “stage” and the puppets for
them to use.
Next: I will read the story The Three Little Pigs to the students
