Discussion Questions
•
•
•
•
Who was your favorite character? Why?
What was your favorite moment from the show? Why?
In the play, Don Quixote was really Alonso Quijano, an elderly man who imagined himself
as the real Don Quixote. Do you think Antonia, the Dark Knight, did the right thing by letting
Alonso continue to believe that he really was Don Quixote?
Explain the word chivalry to the class. Don Quixote expresses “wanting to live in a world of
chivalry.” As a group, think of ways the class could portray chivalry to others. (For example:
helping the elderly with simple tasks, being a good student and listening to others, being
truthful, etc.)

Perform your favorite scene from the play. Remember, girls can be knights too!
Hold a knighting ceremony of your own in class. Write and then memorize a very short story
about your great and noble deeds (Could be things you have done well or something made
up) and then recite it to your classmates. Your teacher will then knight you for your bravery.

Cross Curricular Activities
Art:
• Draw a picture of your favorite scene from the play. Send your drawing to Appalachian
Young People’s Theatre. We love your drawings!
• Make your own knight’s shield with a personalized crest on the front. A crest is a visual
creation of images, letters, numbers, drawings, shapes, and colors that identifies who you are,
your place of origin, your family, and/or your interests.
• Make your own Commedia dell Arte mask for an imaginary character. What does the design
tell you about your made up character?
Social Studies:
• The story of Don Quixote takes place in Spain in the 16th century. Find music and art that
suggests the feel of Spain at this time. Explore the history, cuisine, traditions, holidays,
weather, and what an average day in Spain would be like for a student of similar age.
Science:
• The play features a moment where Don Quixote goes head to head with a windmill. You
could use this opportunity to discuss how a windmill works. You could discuss how they
were once used to grind grain into flour and are now used to produce electricity. Try to make
your own windmill and explain how it works.
