B.Creative / Performance Portion

This may include:

-play a musical instrument, to demonstrate sound

-puppet show with puppets made of pieces of cut-out paper glued to sticks, or more elaborate puppets

            -mock News report with props

            -home video on topic

            -poetry reading (such as Limericks)

            -interpretive dance or creative movement

            -computer generated (FLASH) animation


Minimum 10 minutes long, although groups may take as long as they wish. Groups may need to lead the class in discussion after your creative event, to ensure that the audience got the point about the issues involved.
