Homework Feb 9th

I expect a comment from each of you over the course of this week - you have until Friday Feb 9th to post your answer. If you can't post for some reason, email it to me and I will put it on the blog.

You are currently working on monologues. Explain why you think monologues might be useful if used within a longer play featuring more characters. You might also like to talk about your own monologue and how your research is going for it.

Farah: I think my perfomance of monologue was really well. However, i was so
nervous , but it didnt reflect my perfomance. I didnt do any research about
my topic ( war in Sarajevo), all information was from my knowlegde, except
names.
Actually, monologues are really usefull work at drama for understanding
global issues.
My classmates have represented monologues about poor people, war, children,
but every topic was connected with tears. I would like to say that
monologues are the best part of drama unit
