Complete a Foundation Summary + Critique of Mr. Burns: A Post Electric Play by Anne Washburn

Your assignment is to write a Foundation Summary of Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play by Anne Washburn.

Process

While there are different strategies for approaching this work, you might consider the following steps:

1. 1. Review the Foundation Summary Lecture Notes in the Unit 2 module.
   2. Read, re-read, and/or review margin notes (Write as Your Read critical reading strategy, btw) in Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play by Anne Washburn.
   3. Answer each of the Foundation Summary questions as completely and specifically as you can. Please number your responses. We will work on developing this Q&A format into a coherent paragraph in the coming weeks.
      1. Who is the story about?
      2. What is the story about?
      3. When does the story take place?
      4. Where does the story take place?
      5. Why does the story take place? (In other words, what meaning does the author hope the reader understands?)
      6. How does the story take place? (In other words, who is telling the story or from what point of view?)
   4. Convert your “Why” in your Foundation Summary into a critique by framing it in terms of a social, moral, or political issue (see Critique Notes in Unit 3 module).
   5. Type or paste your responses into the text field below.  When you have completed the work, submit.
