• Plays are written to be performed by two or more actors speaking the parts of the characters. The character list, time, and setting are on the page of the selection. Note that the speaker of each line is written in boldfaced capital letters followed by a colon. The words after the colon are what the speaker says. Words in italics are stage directions.

Grammar, Usage and MechanicsNouns as Direct Objects and Objects of Prepositions
Mr. Hughes loved his son. Langston’s book lay on the desk.A noun can be the subject or an object in a sentence. A noun
that receives the action of the verb is the direct object; for example, son in the first sentence. A noun that is at the end of a prepositional phrase is the object of the preposition; for example, desk in the second sentence.
Noun names a person, place, thing or idea and a proper noun names a particular person, place, thing, or idea. Proper nouns should be capitalized.
Write sentences on the board that contain direct objects and objects of prepositions.
