Background To Death Of A Salesman

To SUBMIT AT THE END OF THE UNIT:

 As you watch and read through the play, stop occasionally to record your thoughts, reactions, and concerns in a Response Journal. 

Your journal may be a separate notebook or individual sheets which you clip together and keep in a folder. Include statements about the characters—what you learn about them, how they affect you—and your thoughts about the key issues and events which the play explores. 

Also, jot down questions you have about events and statements in the play which you do not understand. Your Response Journal will come in handy when you discuss the play in class, write a paper, or explore a related topic that interests you. Evaluation will be based on evidence of thought in your journal.
