Puppets
The simplest kind of puppet is the finger puppet. It is a tube that fits over a finger. The tubes can be painted in different ways to make different puppet characters. The stage for a finger puppet can be a shoebox or something similar.
The next simplest kind of puppet is the hand or glove puppet. Three fingers of one of the puppeteer’s hands become the neck and two arms. If the puppet has a mouth that opens and shuts, the thumb works the lower jaw and four fingers move the upper jaw.
Another kind of puppet is the hand and rod puppet. Sticks or wire rods are attached to a rod puppet’s neck and hands. A combination of hand and rod puppet is the kind of puppet used in many cartoons for young children.
One of the most difficult kinds of puppet to control is the marionette. This kind of puppet hangs on strings. Most marionettes have eight basic strings, but some have 30 or more. A good marionette puppeteer uses gravity to give the puppet life and weight. It is necessary to practice for a long time to learn how to work a marionette well.

Good evening! Thank you for coming to this meeting. I want to tell you about the Music Club. This is a new club for students who like music. Anyone can join. There is nothing to pay.
The Music Club will meet every day after classes. It will meet in the library.
On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, we will listen to CDs that other club members bring to the meetings. There will be many different kinds of music. Club members will talk about the people who wrote and performed the music.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, club members will perform their own music. Many students here can sing or play musical instruments. The Music Club will give them a chance to perform in front of other students.
The Music Club will have a committee. At the next meeting, we will choose the members of this committee. This committee will decide the program for the club—what CDs we will play and who will perform.
If possible, the Music Club will also have an orchestra. This orchestra will give concerts. However, this will not happen for several months.
If you want to join, please write your name and phone number on the paper on the table by the door on your way out. Thank you again for coming to this meeting.
