Guided Analysis of Scenes 1-10 of A Streetcar Named Desire

After teaching each scene to my A Level students, I give them these sheets.

They are Word docs, which can be given to students so they can type their responses directly into the fields provided. Alternatively, you could hand out paper copies and they could handwrite their responses.
The tasks include:

• stating when this scene is set
• giving a brief synopsis of the scene
• lots of deep-dive questions into the characters and dialogue
• exploring the use of stagecraft and plastic theatre in the scene
• examining relevant contextual factors
  They are ideal for use with A Level English Literature students, but could be used in Drama lessons, too.

Note: There isn’t a sheet like this for scene 11 as I tend to teach that scene quite differently.
