Description
A winner of the Knight Award for Writing Exercises and Handouts, this work originates from Performing and Media Arts 1108, Drama Down Under: Theatre of Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific. The worksheets aim to help students turn close reading into clear analysis, through pre-writing for the second essay of the semester. The sequence brings together three activities—(1) developing strategies for active close reading; (2) integrating sources into writing; and (3) improving clarity of sentences—as preparation for writing a basic analysis paper on a character in a play who is used to express one of the play's central ideas. 8 page pdf
