    The authors give a constructive proof of Thurston's theorem [see e.g., \textit{A. Fathi}, \textit{F. Laudenbach}, \textit{V. Poenaru}, et.al., ``Travaux de Thurston sur les surfaces'', Astérisque, 66-67 (1979; Zbl 0446.57005-23)] on the classification of isotopy classes of homeomorphisms of closed punctured surfaces with negative Euler characteristic.
