Description
Resource to help you and your students read through the opening of Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie. There are 18 text-based questions to help students engage with the stage directions and Tom's opening monologue to the audience. The questions allow students to examine Williams's evocative language, some of his dramatic techniques, and to think about set design.
Includes an extension activity for students to write their own monologues with rubric, and an answer key for the analysis questions.
This requires no prep from the teacher, is aligned with high school standards. It can also be done as a class activity or assigned for homework, where students work on it independently.
