This paper will show the history of puppetry in Chinese drama from its origins at the time of the Han dynasty. As will be seen, puppetry is one of the oldest forms of performing art in China and in fact may have had a great influence upon the shape and performing styles of later drama involving human actors.

"Chapter 1
Nature of the Study
Introduction
The benefits of puppetry in work with mentally retarded children and adolescents has been touted in several articles (e.g. Eddy, 1982; Sturtz & Ramsey, 1982; Silverman, Anderson, Marshall & Baer, 1986). However, there has not been much empirical investigation of these claims. In one study of direct relevance to the proposed research, Schmidt and Biles (1985) examined for the therapeutic effects of puppetry on mentally handicapped middle-school students.
The treatment group (N=12) participated in nine highly structured counseling sessions, each of which was 55 minutes in length. Schmidt and Biles stated that these sessions..."

Abstract
This paper discusses several articles that deal with the use of drama in the classroom. The paper examines how drama instruction, such as role-play, miming, puppetry, improvisation and readers theatre, in the early elementary classroom can improve learning. The paper highlights the positive experiences that children gain from incorporating drama in their every-day lessons.
From the Paper
"Barbara Ryan Larkin (2001) shares her classroom experience with drama among elementary school students. Her young students would ask to act out stories they read in class, and once Larkin began studying the theories behind drama in education, she came to realize the beneficial effects that taking time to do so would have with student development. Rather than leaving drama for a separate area of study, Larkin found that "drama is presented as a meaningful context for children to read, write, speak, and listen. Struggling students especially seem to be motivated by this experience." (Larkin 2001) Reader's theater is one way of approaching drama in education. It is an interpretive activity where students practice and perform with each other, using methods like repeated readings and improvisation to enhance comprehension and to build on knowledge. Larkin's students responded very excitedly to reader's theater, immediately embracing the opportunity to take on characters, learn scripts, block scenes, and perform with and in front of one another. The teacher read a story to students, helped them learn the vocabulary, reviewed the entire text of the script as a class, then let students develop parts in groups. "

Abstract
This paper looks at how journalism serves the public interest, including major Marxist and liberalist approaches and theories as well as looking at 'yellow journalism' and the tabloidisation of news media. It also explores competition, the importance of news stories and the financial constraints on news teams as well as the pressures put on a news product by its advertisers and the tendency towards conformity that results from competition.
Outline
Introduction
What Has Journalism Ever Done For Us?
Competition ? Driving Down Quality Since 1968
Following the Leader ? Competition and Conformity
The Shrinking Newsroom
Public Relations ? Puppetry of the Press
Pseudo Events ? Good News For Those Who Can Afford It!
Advertising ? Whose Interest - The Public?s or the Advertiser?s?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"However, there are those that view journalism not to be in the public interest, but rather that of today?s ruling classes; government, big business and the capitalist system in general. Those of this opinion tend to come from the Marxist viewpoint, most notably Chomsky and Herman, who developed the concept of the propaganda model. This states that the media must first pass through 5 conceptual filters before reaching the public, and that these filters are designed to prevent information which is against the interests of the capitalist system reaching the public."
