After defining the term"motif" , we reviewed four pages of the play that employ the lock and key metaphor to mirror Helen Keller's relationship with Annie Sullivan. Lena then placed the lock and key motif in her notebook. I then defined and introduced the term "conflict" ,and Lena correctly answered that the conflict in the play is between Annie and Helen. As the play's dialogue and stage directions contain other significant vocabulary, we then added to this list the words "paroxysm , resurrection and commence" and looked at their use in the context of the dialogue. We took turns reading aloud to the end of Act II and concluded the session by watching the segment of the "Miracle Worker" movie we had just read aloud.
