You and your seat partner will be assigned a word form the above list. Note below the line in which the word appears, line number, and who says it in the play thus far. Notice who uses the word—or group of words—most and to pay attention to how various characters use it. Record anything you notice in the space below and on the back if necessary.

Then, at the end of your search come to some conclusion about the cumulative effect of the word and what theme its repetition develops.

For a good example of how this is done read “No Cloven Hooves” by Doris Adler with your partner (no, you do not have to write a six page essay but a page will be good).
