25. Make Judgments • One way to evaluate a text is to make judgments about the characters and their actions. The way that a playwright presents the characters in a play reflects the message he or she wants to get across. • Think carefully about what each character does and says. • Compare this to the way people act and speak in real life. • Pay close attention to the words the characters use. Ask yourself what kind of person would say something like that. How would you react is someone said these words to you? • Graphic organizers are always good to help you sort information. When making judgments, a Judgment Flow Chart is a good graphic organizer to use.
