“School Play” Test Grade B-

Part I.Drama critics write reviews of plays to give their opinion of a performance. In one paragraph, write a review of Robert's play for his school newspaper. Use your imagination to fill in the details, but include details from the story, too.

I thought this play was very interesting.It was funny how when somebody at home would ask him to do something, he would say his line. And then on the day of the play, when he is saying his line, he mixes up the order of his words. I think he might have been scared because if he messed up his line, Belinda would have shoved his face into the dirt were the worms of the Earth live. I also thought what the teacher said to him after the play,"Almost" she said and I thought that was hilarious.
