We expanded our study of critical quotes from the play and vocabulary from the play using flashcards. Lena excelled in identifying the speaker of the quotes as well as in recognizing the speaker's purpose and emotional state. I then placed the Freytag pyramid on the board, and reviewed the elements of plot from exposition ,to climax, to resolution. Afterward, I listed on the board various events from the novel and asked Lena where on the pyramid the plot event should be placed. Again, she displayed an astute recognition of the play's structure and the plot line. We last looked at some vocabulary words ,premature, and resurrection , in the play's context .Lena continues to maintain excellent notes on all of our class discussion. We should be finishing our reading of the play this week.
