Description
Susan Glaspell's Trifles is a wonderful one act play that helps students learn about gender roles and stereotypes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Trifles, first produced in 1916, themes and topics are still just as applicable as they were in 1916. Trifles is an excellent resource to use to hone skills with characterization, theme, motif, mood and tone and symbolism. Furthermore, in a society of social alone-ness, this unit gets students thinking about the destruction of isolation and loneliness.

-FULL text of the play
-Pre-reading activating activity
-During reading guiding questions
