Tips:

For your essay to be successful, the conclusions you draw must reflect an
understanding of the play that explains the context in which it operates and extends
beyond the obvious.

After you choose and read a play, start by answering some of the questions from the
worksheet I gave you.

Be sure to read a working draft of your essay aloud to a peer to get a stronger
impression of its impact.

I highly recommend you select a topic and play that you have some sort of personal
investment in. If you do, you will write better.

Read of a summary of every play before you dive into one and read the whole thing.
