Note: Before starting this preliminary writing assignment, you need to read the drama essay assignment and know which character you want to write your essay on. You also need to write a complete MLA works cited entry for the play on a sheet of paper to use for this assignment. This assignment is timed and monitored through Honorlock. The only resource you are allowed to use for this assignment is a pre-written works cited list that contains the works cited entry for the play. Make sure you clearly show this list to the camera before starting this assignment. Referring to other notes, rough drafts, files, or other materials while completing this assignment is prohibited. Your work area should be clear of any written materials or extra computers/monitors, and your cell phone should not be present. No digital devices of any kind other than the computer upon which you are working should be present. You should not be wearing headphones or earbuds. If you fail to complete the required environment check to meet the instructor’s requirements, you will forfeit all points for this assignment. Instructions: For the Drama Essay Preliminary Writing Activity, please write at least five to seven complete sentences that describe which character you plan to write your essay on, what that character’s particular dream is, and how that dream relates to the broader notion of the “American Dream.” In writing this assignment, consider the various character aspects described in the MEPSS chart in the drama module (mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, social). After you have written your paragraph, write a works cited entry for the play itself. See the example below. Works Cited: Hansberry, Lorraine. A Raisin in the Sun.
