Please present your pop music history package by Thursday. Bottom line: put as much as you have completed on Google Docs by Thurs.

Also, time is up for essays on A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Please submit it on Google Docs no later than Fri or suffer a score of zero.

Next unit: modern drama. The basic elements include . . .

- Classroom viewing of Glengarry Glen Ross, a Pulitzer prize-winning play made into a much-lauded movie. Followed by discussion and comparison with Death of a Salesman, seen by nearly all my students.

- Classroom viewing of the Tom Stoppard play Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead. The existentialist tragicomedy is based on Hamlet, which has been seen by nearly all Fine Arts students.

- Possible viewing of the notorious and award-winning Edward Albee play, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.

Unit coming after drama: modern dance.
Alvin Ailey, Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham, Isadora Duncan, etc.
