hey all! I am doing a research paper on puppetry, with an emphasis on teaching. Sesame Street :smile: :frown: :stick_out_tongue: :grouchy: and other learning programs will play a big part in the paper. What I need are more resources. Does anyone have any suggestions? Books, magazine articles, etc....

:flirt: Thanks for any help you may give,

Deb

Go to your library and do a search for a paper written once in the 60's or 70's about Sesame Street and their impact on education. I don't know the title, but I've read a part of it before. I was bored. Something realistic, not fun, about research and development etc.

That might help. But I remember reading something once, when I was teaching sunday school, about kids retaining what they learn for example:
:concern: 32% of what they Hear
:excited: 56% of what they see and hear
:wink:65% of what they see, hear and repeat
and so on...........I was planning on tying that in along with the colors and textures of puppets and so on.

Thanks, that will work. I know enough to write the entire paper, but since it is a college level writing class, I have to have the sources to back it up.

Thanks Again!

No problem. I hated bibliographies, they make me have to spend more time.

:embarrassed:

That's interesting to know. I think I'd heard this somewhere. Maybe it was on this site.

In the Animal Jam articles they mention something along the lines of kids responding to something. I'll have t check the article again.

:smile: Thats great! You went into much more detail than I plan on going into, but it runs parallel to what I have in mind. I will also be using alot of things I learned from being a sunday school teacher and being in the puppet ministry.

I am not ashamed to admit that I still find myself stopping and watching these shows when I'm flipping through the channels. :wink:

Oddly enough, the show "Crank Yankers" never cranked anything in me but left a bad taste in my mouth.:embarrassed:
