The Waiting Room-Due Monday
Now that we have completed the play and had many fruitful conversations and some fantastic laughs, here is your opportunity to get your thoughts out on paper.
Post a blog answering the following questions in the form of a reflective essay.
1. What are the key messages of this play?
2. What social commentaries does Lisa Loomer make about today's society? (Be sure to discuss at the very least beauty, health, and gender roles)
3. How do each of the three main female characters evolve/regress as the play progresses? Discuss each one in detail and use at least one quotation to exemplify your argument.
4. What is the function of Ken and Larry in the play? What commentary is Lisa Loomer making about the pharmaceutical industry and the government's role in protecting American's health.
5. Why did Lisa Loomer, playwright, conclude her play in the manner she did? Does it work well? Are there any unresolved issues you would wrap up differently? Explain in detail!!!
EXTRA CREDIT!!! Script ACT III!!!

OOPS!!! Post to your Blog...NOT to BBC website! DUE WEDNESDAY!!!
Hey all,
Sorry, but the posting feature on the BBC website is not available because the article is from several years back I suppose. SO, here is what is expected of you!!!
Post a blog in which you:
1. Respond to both articles discussing your thoughts. Be detailed and use at least 1 direct quote from the article in your response.
2. Evaluate your class' seminar discussions. Be specific in discussing what you learned, what interesting points were made, what you think about those ideas proposed during seminar.
NOTE: Vocabulary word for the week is "FACTITIOUS" ...Thanks Kathleen E!!!!
