Assessment:

1. Discuss the characters of the story. Do people live today that are similar to characters? Do they deal with the same problems? What can those people do? Where can they find help (friends, teachers, agencies)?
2. What were the main characters like? How are their actions dictated by their culture? Ask the students to review what was learned about drama and characters. Was it difficult to sustain serious emotion?
3. When in our own lives do we behave in a similar manner? During certain (selected) scenes, how did people express their meaning?
4. How do we express ourselves (body, voice)? Talk about where we see elements of drama in our daily lives, in acting with parents, teachers. Do we ever play characters? We talked about super heroes, now what about more serious characters? What sorts of attitudes are necessary in discussing serious themes?
