This guide supports your research in several assignments in this course. Each tab serves a different purpose; some just have resources for you to explore, some have activities to complete, and some are just informative. It remains up the whole semester so return to it whenver you get stuck in your research.

The Final Project will ask you to choose one of four projects to complete and present:
Presentations are a maximum of 10 minutes and must include articulation of how creative choices were derived from research on a play we have read this semester but one you have not addressed in a previous Play Pitch. Your research paper will be an extension of this final project, discussing how your research led to the physicalization of the world you created.
(80 Points)
The Research Paper will be an in-depth exploration of one play that clearly identifies and discusses the historical and cultural contexts that contribute to the essence of the play and therefore need to be considered as they create their final project. The paper is required to be in a standard format, have a clearly stated thesis in the form of a theatrical concept, and a works cited page.
The paper must be 4 full pages long but not more than 5 pages long.
(20 Points)
The thesis clearly identifies how the concept for your project reflects the essence of the play as derived by your analysis of the play and by the historical and cultural contexts from which the play originated.
What sources will you using? Where will you cite those sources in the body of the paper?
