I'm not sure where to go with my inquiry right now. I use puppets throughout the day and in different ways. It brings excitement to my students and I know that I want to study how to make these useful tools to students, not only to myself. I originally wanted to use the puppets to help my students who don't speak, but many of the students who don't speak don't do so because there are speech issues going on. This has led me to reconsider who I use as focal students. I want to focus on the students who still play with puppets in an agressive manner. These are also the students that other students look to as role models.
Two weeks ago I read Goldilocks and the Three Bears to my students. Since then I have seen students use the puppets that accompany the story (one interaction was scaffolded) but the rest have been on their own during free play. The data I have collected so far has been videos of how students use puppets in an agressive way, and how they hit each other with the puppets. I need help in coming up with a type of data collection method other than observations.
