Question

DIRECTIONS Read the paragraph below. Then use what you have learned about paragraph structure to answer the questions below. Paragraph 9 Let’s set the stage. You are in your school’s drama club, but you are not an actor or an actress. Your job is to build the stage set for the school’s fall play. You have no experience? That’s fine. Your drama teacher will guide you and the other members of the club through each part of the process. Your teacher has already designed the set and built a small model. Picture this model as a room with only three walls. If you were seated in the audience, you would see that the left wall has a window, the back wall has a door, and the right wall is solid. From this model, you will be able to begin planning. A good plan should take into account the time, supplies, tools, and people needed to complete the work. Time is a critical element of any plan. Let’s say that it is the third week of September and that the play will be performed in the second week of November. That means you have seven weeks to plan and build the stage set. Their need reduces the amount of time you have to five weeks. Now, let’s say that the performers will need two weeks to rehearse on the actual set. The next part of your plan involves figuring out what supplies you will need. You must make a list of the materials and tools necessary to build and decorate the set. For example, if the walls will be made out of large pieces of cardboard, you would add cardboard to your list, making sure to note the size of each wall. Similarly, if the door on the back wall opens, you would add a saw to your list. Then, you would add items to complete construction of the left and right walls. Finally, to complete your list, you would make note of any additional supplies and tools needed to decorate the set when it is built—paint, markers, stencils, paintbrushes, and dropcloths. Write three transitional words found in the final paragraph.
