Objective: SWBAT describe the relationship between two characters by drawing inferences from the characters’ dialogue.
Do-Now: What are common issues husbands/wives tend to fight about? Why do you believe they typically fight about these issues?
Today: 1) Review direct vs. indirect characterization. How can dialogue be used to characterize someone?
2) Finish reading Act 1, Scene 1, focusing on the dialogue between Lyons, Rose, and Troy. What can be inferred about the relationship between these characters based on how they talk to one another? How can their relationships with one another be compared/contrasted to the relationships between Ruth, Walter and Travis?
3) Make a VENN diagram comparing and contrasting Rose’s relationship with Lyons to Troy’s relationship with Lyons.
Exit Slip: Rose and Troy appear to play “Good Cop, Bad Cop” with Lyons. Is this dynamic similar to the dynamic your parents have with each other? Explain.
Homework: Create a two-page scene of dialogue in which Rose and Troy from “Fences” meet Walter and Ruth from “A Raisin in the Sun.” What might these characters have in common that they could talk about in terms of their marriages, families, and jobs?
