This morning, please watch these two videos and take notes in your journal on the advice therein. We will be moving on in 15 minutes. The videos are about 12 minutes in length. That gives you a 3-minute goof off time, so get focused!
2. Go the library and check out the play: The Zoo Story by Edward Albee.
3. Get together in reading groups of 2 or 3. These groups are only for a day, so please work with someone you know you can trust to focus on the assignment. If you are in a group of 4, I will split you into two groups of 2. I prefer no one work alone, as it is important for you to practice reading out loud.
4. Read The Zoo Story together in your groups today. Assign parts as follows:
a. 3 students: one play Jerry, one play Peter, one read the stage directions where appropriate (only the longer directions).
b. 2 students: one play Jerry, the other play Peter, read the stage directions silently.
c. If you have been stubborn and must work alone, you may either join a group of two, or read alone, but realize you are missing part of your practice and cheating yourself out of more effective performance skills.
5. AS YOU ARE READING THE PLAY: In your group discuss how the author uses conflict in his play. Plays are based on conflict. Conflict can come in 4 “flavors” or types:
1. Research Edward Albee. Take brief notes about his career and style of writing in your journal.
2. Go the library and check out the play: The Zoo Story by Edward Albee.

- i. Person vs. Person
- ii. Person vs. Self
- iii. Person vs. Nature
- iv. Person vs. Society or God
HOMEWORK: If you did not finish reading The Zoo Story, please complete the play on your own time. There will be a quiz next class on the play.
