Action! Delve into character development in the play Fences by August Wilson, setting the stage for learners to analyze character nuances. Thespians choose a scene from the script, responding with a written account of the character's suggestions. As an overall evaluation, groups come up with oral presentations to share their conclusions about the main characters. There isn't much to this plan; it works best as a starting outline. The dramatization portion is left out.
