Objective: SWBAT evaluate one instance of flashback in “Death of a Salesman” and explain the author’s purpose for the flashback.
Do-Now: What is one thing in your life that you regret never doing? This could be an opportunity that was offered to you that you passed up or something you’ve always wanted to do, but were never able to. Why do you regret not doing this? If you had another chance, would you take it?
Today: 1) Class will read pp. 41-47, examining Willy’s interchange with his imaginary uncle, Ben. Why might Willy be remembering his uncle at this point in the play?
2) In groups, class will read pp. 47-52, examining the flashback scene with Willy’s uncle, Ben. How does the play transition from Willy seeing an imaginary Ben to a flashback scene? What is the purpose of this flashback scene?
EXIT SLIP: What do you believe is the author’s purpose for including the flashback scene with Willy’s uncle, Ben? What do you feel the author is trying to show us about Willy and his life?
