Homework #5

Note: if you are with a Tech/Management TA, you no longer need to do these assignments. The only remaining assignments you will do for me are: the Midterm, the two Critiques, the Quiz, and the Final. The following is for the Performance section, only.

On pages 40-43 of the text, the author explores the major parts of an Aristotelian play: Exposition, Conflict, Climax, and Denouement. Identify the exposition in High Stakes, and explain why the section you chose fulfills the author's description of exposition. Do the same for conflict, climax, and denouement.

Your response must be typed, and should include:

Your name
Theatre 100
Tommy Iafrate (with an I, not an L!)
The due date (October 9, 2008)

Homework #5: Aristotelian plot elements of High Stakes

Four (short) paragraphs, double-spaced, each addressing one of the four elements. Grading will be based off of content (ie, did you justify your choices?), with consideration paid to spelling and grammar as well.

On a related note... as we talked about early on in the semester, we will be reviewing all of chapters 1-5 before your midterm, to be held two weeks from today on October 21st. That means that we need to review a new chapter every class (!), so please read chapter 3 for this Thursday. Thanks everybody! :)
