The Speak Easy Questions

OVERVIEW:

You will become part of a 3-4 person discussion group that is assigned:

SUGGESTIONS:
After reading your play,and looking over your assigned Questions go to the Speak Easy conference center where you will brainstorm with your partners the answers to the three questions. This will take the form of creating new threads of discussion, as well as responding to what somebody else has said--just like you have been doing on the weekly message board. The only difference is that this is a specialized "board" for a very specific group.

Whether or not you arrive at a censensus for each question is irrelevant; the important point is that to the best of your abilities, you fully consider the ramifications of the questions. The overall idea is that this "brainstorming session" with your group will prepare your group to lead the discussion in class. Typically we take three class periods to discuss a particular play, so it is perfectly possible that we will only cover one of the assigned questions in a given class period.

Your evaluation for this project will be based on both:

• your discussion in class--how well you and your group lead the discussion
• your postings (a "hard" copy of your postings is due at the end of the week)
