Objective: SWBAT describe the difference between situational and verbal irony and evaluate a text to find one example of each. SWBAT recognize a euphemism in a text and explain how the word/phrase is misleading.
Do-Now: Think back to Mr. Lindner’s visit to the Youngers. If you were the Younger family, would you still move into the house or would you be too afraid? Explain what reasons you would have for moving in or staying out.
Today: 1) Review Irony: Situational, Dramatic and Verbal. Review "euphemism."
2) Class will read pp. 119-125, looking for an example of verbal irony and an example of euphemism. How does the name “Clybourne Park Improvement Association” represent a euphemism?
3) In groups, students will read pp. 125-130, looking for an example of situational irony.
4) Class will discuss how the final scene of Act 2 contains situational irony. What did we expect Walter to do with the money Mama gave him? What did Walter do with the money instead? What did Walter expect to happen with this money? What happened instead?
EXIT SLIP: What do you feel would be a more appropriate name for the “Clybourne Park Improvement Association?” Come up with your own, more suitable name for the association and explain how you came up with that name.
