Objective: SWBAT describe how the events in a story can alter the story’s mood as well as the characters’ mood.
Do-Now: What type of mood are you in today? Why do you feel this way? Explain what has happened to your or what will be happening to you that has put you in this mood.
Today: 1) Review mood
2) Class will read Act 1, Scene 4 pp. 41-44. How has Troy’s mood changed now that he’s received his promotion? How does this change the mood of the story? How can this scene be compared to a scene from “A Raisin in the Sun?”
3) In groups of five, students will continue reading Act 1, Scene 4 pp. 44-49. How has the change in Troy’s mood affected how he treats his family?
Exit Slip: Troy has finally gotten what he wanted, but he has also ruined his Cory's dreams. What do you predict will now happen to both Troy and Cory? Will everything start going Troy's way, or will he be punished for what he did to his son? Will Cory get a chance to play football, or will he chances be ruined forever?
Homework: Begin working on your project for “Fences.”
