What I did well and what I need work with

I feel like I had a good understanding of most everything that the quiz was on. There are some portions that I feel I had a better understanding of though.  I feel like I had a really good understanding of the stage directions because of the activities we did.  I feel like I had a good understanding of like the different types of theater. the different types of stages and most of the characteristics of a play.  Lastly, I feel like I had a good understanding of Stanislavski and his method because last year I did a presentation on him.  There was some stuff that I didn't have the best understanding o but I still knew somewhat about them.  Some of the stuff that I need to work on vocab of the play.  By this, I mean like  Plot,  Articulation,  Enunciation,   Dramatic Pauses  Suspense and,  Stage Whisper.  I still had a good understanding of these but I could work on them more so I know them better.
