In this English class led by Miss Maria Demicoli, students are introduced to the play “True Blood Ties” by Joseph Arnone. The lesson focuses on using skimming and scanning techniques to understand a play extract and involves activities such as watching a video clip, reading the extract, and participating in discussions about themes, characters, plot, and setting. Additionally, students learn about the purpose of stage directions and informal language used in the play, such as “weco” for mad and “ota” for out of, through interactive tasks.
