               their purpose. Focus on the conflict, when it is introduced, how the action leads to the climax and how it is
               resolved.
              • Ask students to analyze the play they selected and help them describe its main events and to determine
               the format.
              • RB Box can either extend the current practice or provide material for developing it. If you have enough
               material, take time during the practice to go through the Reader’s Book to foster curiosity and improve
               reading skills.

              Activity 10
              • Go through the chart from the previous activity with students and ask them if they agree with the example
               provided in Activity 10.
              • Encourage them to identify the aspects of the play they selected. Ask them to think about the feelings the
               play transmits and to think what type of audience might enjoy them.
              • Pay special attention to determining the topic and help students to read between the lines. Some might
               focus mainly on the plot, but help them identify what values are highlighted in the play and which
               are punished.
