We detailed the elements of dramatic plot by analyzing the Freytag pyramid: exposition, rising action , climax, falling action ,and resolution. We discussed these elements and Bobby placed definitions in his notebook. We then applied the terms by Bobby's identifying the climax of the last two books we read after which I introduced the vocabulary words for the play which Bobby also placed in his notebook. We further studied stage directions for Act I , and reviewed these stage directions and stage descriptions in the context of the stage sets we viewed yesterday. At the end of the session, we read a few pages of the script, and I explained the family dynamics as dramatized . For homework, read to page 20.
