W a useful key for what’s inside
elcome to the Study Guide
All of the pages have a title and
subtitle. Not all of them rhyme
(we’re not that clever), but they’ll
give you a general idea of what
type of information is on the page.
Whenever you see a black box with white
text, read it before anything else! It contains
the background information you need to
understand the rest of the material on that
page. You won’t see one of these on every
page, but keep an eye out for them.
Text in bold throughout the guide highlights key
words, phrases and ideas. Make sure you read it!
Think About It:
(Topic)
Dashed circles surround
questions for you to
consider as you discuss the
play and other related topics.
Rather than focusing directly
on the text, most questions will
encourage you to relate ideas
from the play to your personal
experiences.

A computer symbol means the
content on that page is expanded
upon or included in full on our
Knowledge Nucleus at
goodmaneacp.typepad.com.
Video clips, the full text of articles,
interviews, etc. will be posted
there along with other educational
resources.
All quotations are inside boxes. The quote below doesn’t have anything
to do with the rest of the guide—it’s just Randall being goofy.
However, all other quotes will relate to the topics of the pages on
which they appear.
“Man, I love quotes.”
Stars like this are activities
for you and your classmates:
everything from group contests
to individual exercises.
