After class a couple of your colleagues brought to my attention that Drama II has only six total pages, so since you've done the first four, you only have to do the final two for the "what's the most important point of this paragraph" outline.
Study the boldfaced terms and know the definitions to prepare for class on Monday. We will play the drama terminology game for no credit to prepare you for Wed. and Fri., for which your team will get a grade.
