Students will make a puppet of a colourful character (like Martha Black and Joe Boyle) who lived in Dawson during the Yukon Gold Rush. They will introduce their puppet character to the class at a puppet show. The information about each character is provided. This is super fun!! Jim Robb can be invited to give an Artist Talk to the students as well.
