3. Pygmalion Notes You are responsible for creating your own notes for each act. You will be able to use them on your assessment, so it will work in your favor to create yourself some awesome notes for each act! For each act, I will give you vocabulary you need to know as well as any background information. I would recommend that you make notes as we read – anything we talk about, quotes we discuss in depth, etc… write it down if you think it’s important. You will answer questions for each act on these pages as well. Basically, these pages you create in your notebook are your record of the work and thought you put in during this unit, and they will be graded.
