How to Prepare for the Quote Test

List the CHARACTERS - come up with some adjectives for each - try to find a good quote for each - explicate - test your friend with quotes

STRUCTURE: Find a quote for each of the five points of Freytag's Pyramid - what would you say about each - extend through play - test your friend (brainstorm) - read over your handout

THEMES: Make a list of themes that were not part of your fishbowl. Brainstorm what you would say about them. Find essential quotes exhibiting your themes - test your friend

Review your homework and notes

You will be doing a close reading of each quote - making a general statement (topic sentence) then proving (with quotes from the excerpt) then extending your argument through the play - like a tiny keyhole essay.
