Shadow puppets, known as wayang kulit in Indonesia, have been used to entertain and as a medium to spread Javanese values. A puppeteer, one who plays the puppets, must have competence in storytelling. Thus, shadow puppet becomes an effective way of teaching a language, exclusively for ELT. However, paper puppets are chosen and used most instead of the leather ones, for they are much simpler to make. This study aims to describe what students can learn from the shadow puppets story as the implementation of project-based learning (PBL) in learning narrative text. Students will choose a particular character from shadow puppets, get references to know more about the character, create puppets from paper, and present what they can learn from the character. They will involve in learning activities collaboratively as one of the PBL principles. Hence, students will not only improve their language skills but also get excellent moral values from the story. Besides, it is hoped that students will be familiar with the cultural heritage, apply the positive attitudes reflected by the story, and use them for their identity. Due to most puppetry involving storytelling, narrative text is considered appropriate to discuss in class.
