The Glass Menagerie By Tennessee Williams

“This play is Memory” As we begin reading Scenes I and II of the play, keep this very important quote from the play in mind. (Hint: it is part of the central theme) You may either annotate in your books (if you own your own copy) or you may complete a Dialectical Journal Log.

Dialectical Journal Logs

Now look at your list; Narrow down your list to one memory that holds a special significance to you. Your assignment will be to write a memoir essay centered on the memory you chose. (Similar to Tom’s dialogue)
