6. Posting: Self-Assessment
The blogging post points (200) require self-assessment.
Consider three aspects of your posts:
• First, how many of the posts did you make?
• Second, what was the quality of your response?
• Third, how timely were your submissions?
Write a brief argument for your homework grade. You
must include either a letter grade or points out of 200.
This is due before class 19. You may send it in an email.
8. 19. Allusion: A reference to well-known people, places, or events
from history, historical documents, literature, or myth, for
example.
20. Motive: A reason for a character’s thoughts or actions.
21. Gesture: The physical movement of a character during a play.
Gesture is used to reveal character, and may include facial
expressions as well as movements of other parts of an actor's
body. Sometimes a playwright will be very explicit about both
bodily and facial gestures, providing detailed instructions in the
play's stage directions.
19. Props: Articles or objects that appear on stage during a play. The
Christmas tree in A Doll's House and Laura's collection of glass
animals in The Glass Menagerie are examples.
9. 23. Stage direction: A playwright's descriptive or interpretive
comments that provide readers (and actors) with information
about the dialogue, setting, and action of a play. Modern
playwrights, including Ibsen, Shaw, Miller, and Williams tend
to include substantial stage directions, while earlier
playwrights typically used them more sparsely, implicitly, or
not at all.
24. Staging: The spectacle a play presents in performance,
including the position of actors on stage, the scenic
background, the props and costumes, and the lighting and
sound effects.
25. Fourth wall: The imaginary wall of the box theater setting,
supposedly removed to allow the audience to see the action.
