Students will be graded on the depth and thoughtfulness of their responses to the questions. Students MUST reference the four levels of characterization on pg. 47 if the textbook. Any paper not referencing these levels from the book will not receive a passing grade. Any indication that the student did not actually read the play in question—such as not understanding basic plot points or characterizations—will result in a failing grade. Shallow or superficial responses will not receive a passing grade.
