This performance guide is designed for teachers to use with students before and after a shadow play performance of "Turtle Island Tales" by Hobey Ford and His Golden Rod Puppets. The guide, called a "Cuesheet," contains seven activity sheets for use in class, addressing: (1) The Tales (offering brief outlines of the three tales told); (2) The Shadows (with some background information of shadow puppet shows and how to make shadow puppets); (3) The Tribes (with brief background information about the four Native American tribes from which these tales come); and (4) The Participants (discussing the puppeteer, the puppets, and the audience, and how the audience can help in a live theatre performance). Resources for further exploration are listed. (SR)
