 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Suggested Activities **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">[see Legend to highlight MCO and HYS]
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">As students read the play(s) (and view videos), they will take notes about particular lines of dialogue or incidents that propel the action, reveal aspects of a character, or provoke a decision. Students need to be sure to note page numbers with relevant information so they can go back and cite the text during class discussion.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">What is the setting?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Who are the major and minor characters?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">What is the theme of the play?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">What problems are faced by the character(s)? How does he/she overcome this challenge?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Which lines of dialogue or events were pivotal to the play? Why?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Describe the use of literary techniques, such as flashback, in the play. How do these reveal the point of view of the character and possibly create suspense? Students may work with a partner or in groups for discussion. [HYS – S/N, CQO]
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Read Diary of Anne Frank HMU4 pg. 544 (MCO – E/C, I/M, S, R/D)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Read the speeches by Barbara Jordan and Franklin Delano Roosevelt and tell how they are similar? What perspectives do they bring to their speeches? How do these speakers inspire listeners? What is important for us to learn from these speeches, and why is it important to continue reading them from generation to generation? Share ideas with a partner and then write your own response. [HYS – CL, CQO]
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Create a T-chart or a Venn diagram and compare two speeches, such as the “Fireside Chat” by Mr. Roosevelt and Ms. Jordan’s keynote address at the 1976 Democratic National Convention. Delineate each speaker’s arguments and specific claims, evaluate the soundness of the reasoning, and make a judgment about the relevance and sufficiency of the evidence. Point out any particular words that you understand better because of how they were used in context. Write a response to this question. “What is the difference between reading the speech and hearing it/seeing it performed live?”
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">How is the delivery of spoken message similar and different between plays and speeches? When would you choose to give a speech? When would you choose to embed a speech (monologue) in a drama? What are the similarities and differences between performing in a play and delivering a speech? Write brief responses to these questions, citing specific examples/page numbers from the texts read and speeches heard. [HYS –S/D, CQO]
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Identify important information about Roosevelt and Jordan. Explain why it is important.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Groups discuss what characteristics a hero has and what attributes and/or actions make a hero? Is there a hero in The Diary of Anne Frank? Who is it? Why does the group consider him/her a hero? Each member of the group will tell if they have a hero and why that person is a hero to them. [HYS – CL]
 * Share point of view/perspective on propaganda. Use modern day/WWII era advertisements, newspaper/magazine articles, and/or political cartoons to communicate beliefs. [HYS – GTH]
