The second activity, the teacher explained about the puppet and gave the example of puppet show. After that the teacher asked the students to make the dialogue about a story of narrative text. The students had to change a written story into dialogue use their language and they wrote down in a paper. The last activity was the students conduct the puppet show. After the puppet show the teacher gave the evaluation for the students who retell story play puppet. Nelson (1998:27) points out that demonstration-performance include 4 types.
