The implication in the query about shadow puppet rods is that the teacher is 
looking for transparent ones, else why specifically "plastic?"  Some of us 
use sheet acetate tabs as part of shadow puppet controls, and Steven's idea 
about using Lexan strip works for vertical rods but can be too flexible.  
Sometimes it's useful to design shadow puppets so the rods aren't seen, but 
often the shadow of the control is part of the nature of the art. Then 
there's always the "Turkish" style where the rods run straight back from the 
screen.  With careful lighting and manipulation, they are seldom seen.  
Visible rods shouldn't discourage experimenting with the form.
