Judging Willy

This worksheet functions as an exit slip that asks students to reflect on whether they sympathize with Willy Loman and to explain why. Students must write 4-6 complete sentences and support their opinion with at least one piece of evidence from the play. The activity encourages personal interpretation grounded in textual support, reinforcing the practice of blending opinion with analysis. It also prompts students to consider complex character motivations and the emotional impact of Willy’s struggles. This worksheet is useful for closing a lesson and assessing comprehension of both character and theme.
