Our Town: Quiz & Discussion; Zoo Story: day 1

You will have 20 minutes to complete a quiz on the play Our Town by Thorton Wilder. You may use your books and your review homework for this exam, but only have 20 minutes to complete it.

After our quiz, please take the rest of period 3 to discuss the play in your assigned groups. Choose a person in your group that you evaluate (see socratic seminar handout)--every one should have a separate reviewer. Complete the handout and, as a group, come up with at least 3 questions/topics you would also like to address for this play.

PLEASE TURN IN YOUR HOMEWORK & the handouts for credit today. If you did not write your review of Our Town (see previous post) please do not return your Our Town play to the library today.

During period 4, please complete the character exercise as directed. Then, we'll go to the library, return Our Town and pick up The Zoo Story by Edward Albee, our next required play reading. When we return from the library, please gather in groups of 2-3 (your choice) and begin reading the play out loud together. We will continue and complete our reading of this one-act play next class.

HOMEWORK: Please bring your Zoo Story scripts back with you to next class! If you did not complete your review or your reading of Our Town, please do that as well.
