I chose this specific play in to focus on because it is one that I am very familiar with through both acting and academia, and I feel that students can learn skills beyond reading difficult texts through the themes of this play. The play deals with themes that would be appropriate and reasonable for high school students to analyze and think about. The themes can be grim at times, but they are relatable and meant to teach a lesson to the audience. It is important for students to be exposed to these messages and work with them not only to strengthen their skills as readers, writers, and speakers, but strengthen their morals and interpersonal skills through someone else’s example. Beyond this, the play presents themes that have no "right" answer, so students can practice effective argumentation skills by using ideas in this play. Also, if there was a production of this play going on around the area, it would be enriching to take students to see this play, as they could better understand the text and practice analyzing visuals and develop visual literacy skills. Also, there is a plethora of common core standards that teachers could touch on through this play.]]> 2019-04-02 15:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/schwe1eg/rnos4p0df1sn/wish/347690464
