Please select a part in the play and prepare to read. If you are not reading a part aloud, please do the following:

1. Look for the theme in the play
2. Look for message or moral in the play
3. Look for content in the play (what are the important issues the play covers?)
4. Look for visual imagery: metaphor, simile, allusion, personification, figurative language, symbol, motif used in the play
5. Examine the plot and structure of the play: how is the play put together, what scenes happen and in what order?

Hand in your cards/notes at the end of our reading period.
