1. Pre-write: Brainstorm a list of statements about the character you have chosen that begin with I AM... Try to draw out as many things about the character him/herself that you learned through the play. Examples: I am the wife/husband/son/daughter of..., I am an adulterer/accuser/coward/critic. I am innocent, yet accused. Hopefully, you get the idea.
2. Once you have the list together, try to match up statements that go together and from them, construct a poem about that person from all of the things you have listed. Each stanza should begin with "I AM..." but not every line in the play. I will answer any questions you have in class before it is due.
3. Work with a group if possible, so you can gather as many good ideas as possible about your character. If you are the only one in the class that chose that particular character, then you may work on your own, or I will help you.
