Take a play (or two) and dissect a theme present in the play. If you choose 2 plays, contrast them as you write. The play choices are Raisin in the Sun and Inherit the Wind. The goal is not to talk about themes discussed in class (American Dream, racism, evolution vs. creationism) but rather branch out and discover a new idea. Avoid simple plot summary. Find an argument, and use the play(s) as support and persuade.

5. Success in teaching rest on three interrelated factors: (1) A teacher must have the easy familiarity that betokens the true participant in the life of the mind; (2) a teacher must be involved in a give-and-take of communication with the student so that the student is motivated and the teacher is apprised of the student’s needs; and finally (3) a teacher must be able to evaluate both the student’s progress and potential without bias brought about by the teacher’s own success and failures in the classroom.

1b. I recognize, as a Roman Catholics generally, the great potential for human therapeutics in stem cell research. I do not oppose stem cell research per se if the cells are obtained from sources such as adult humans, miscarriages, or placental blood. What is morally unsustainable is the harvesting of stem cells by either of two currently proposed methods: (1) the creation and destruction of human embryos at the blastocyst stage by removal of the inner cell mass or (1) the harvesting of primordial germ cells from aborted fetuses. Both cases involve complicity in the direct interruption of a human life, which Roman Catholics believe has a moral claim to protection from the first moments of conception. In both cases, a living member of the human species is intentionally terminated.
