The instructor returned the drama drafts and asked students to underline their terms. Later in the class, the papers were returned with corrections and input.

Next she talked about the upcoming drama quiz and told students what types of items might be on the quiz. The quiz will probably be given in the next two weeks.

She then discussed the Greek theater, for which there was an accompanying PowerPoint presentation.
