In terms of early literacy practices, this orally formulating characters (formulating characters through this oral storytelling that they were actually participating in
through ventriloquism) is something that we can link to literacy practices, to these early literacy practices of: What is a character?
I predict that Justice Breyer shows up with one of those Steve Martin arrow
through the head things on his giant dome, and that Justice Kagan, well known for her
ventriloquism prowess, ** poses her questions
through a fancy dressed mouse hand puppet.
