With her collaborator Mariela Paez, associate professor at Boston College, Uccelli examined the development of vocabulary and
oral narrative skills among a group of 24 bilingual (Spanish / English) children living in communities in Massachusetts and Maryland.
Great for
oral language development, co-operative learning, topic based study, drama, performance
skills, engaging reluctant learners, art (drawing faces), etc... Can also be used as a writing prompt (eg script writing,
narrative writing, descriptive writing...) Your students will LOVE making up performances with these cute stick puppets.
