Today we'll begin class with a characterization mini-workshop. You will be able to use your notes, but not your friends. You'll receive a handout with directions, and I'll facilitate the workshop once everyone understands the directions.
We'll be jumping into Our Town with full force today. Please be sure to complete the homework for tomorrow's class:
HW: Please read this article about an urban school putting on a production of Our Town. In a well developed paragraph (5 sentences), on loose leaf or typed, please explain how Our Town, a play that takes place in a small, middle-class village, is still able to relate to students living in an impoverished city, rife with dangers and violence that Grover's Corner never had to worry about. In your response, be sure to include an explanation of universal themes and how it relates to the article. DUE: Thursday, September 13.
