1. Read the following by Oscar Wilde
   • The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde.
   • Please note that this is an entire play and should take you 2-4 hours to read
2. Use your word processor to take notes on the following items:
   • Quote 10 intances in which Wilde uses stage directions (be they descriptions of scene, details of an entrance/exit, visualization of a character’s appearance or expression, etc.).
   • Brainstorm, in a length approximating a full paragraph (though without worrying about grammar and usage), what issues, ideas, tone, etc., Wilde was trying to get across in these stage directions.
     • You don’t need to come to a grand conclusion, but should instead use this as an opportunity to begin thinking about how “directorial” decisions can have an impact on a play’s overall impact.
3. Post your paragraph.

Just need a paragraph on the above instructions. Thank you!
