Which elements of the method are used, and how? |
☑ Learning in small groups – Members produce different parts of the puppets and then combine the semi-products together. They share the difficulties during the production process. They also suggest the tips of making puppets to each other. ☑ My path, my pace – Members learn the skills of making puppets. They also learn to use sewing and knotting skills to do the decoration and make a puppet with their own characteristics. ☑ Learning by doing – Members become more patient and detail-minded when making crafts. This improves their concentration on working as well. Members are encouraged to use their creativity and make use of different materials to make a puppet. |
