As you read Act 4,
respond to the questions listed below on a separate sheet of paper/document. After Spring Break, you will “meet” with other students who studied the same character to prepare a ten-minute presentation on your character. This presentation should be informative and insightful. You may use any format that appeals to your group as long as your presentation includes the information asked for in the following questions. As usual, any conclusions you draw must be supported with textual references. Remember that the answers to the questions will provide you only with the raw data for your presentation. Your job is to assemble the data into an interesting and informative presentation.
