Objective: SWBAT evaluate how the mood in the Younger household changes between Act 1 and Act 2 and during Scene 3 of Act 2. SWBAT give 3-4 possible causes for this change in mood.
Do-Now: Describe an experience you’ve have where you felt like you didn’t “fit in.” Where were you? Who were you with? What/who made you feel like you did not belong?
Today: 1) What is mood? How does music have a mood? How can literature have a mood? Let's listen to some music...
2) Class will read pp. 110-113. How has the mood changed in the Younger household? What has happened to cause the mood to change? How are everyone’s dreams beginning to come true?
3) In groups, students will read pp. 113 – 119. What is the REAL motivation behind Mr. Lindner’s visit to the Youngers? How does his visit change the mood in the household from earlier in the scene.
4) Students will make a timeline of the major events which have occurred so far in the play. Using a color-coding system, students will show how the mood of the play has changed between events/acts. Students will use blue to color scenes with a somber mood, yellow for scenes with a happy mood, and red for scenes with an angry mood. Scenes with neutral moods will be left white.
