Objective: SWBAT find an instance of foreshadowing in a play and describe what event it might be predicting. SWBAT find three examples of dramatic irony in a play and explain how effectively they are being used.
Do-Now: If you couldn’t pay your bills, would you feel comfortable borrowing money from a friend? Explain why or why not. Why do you think some people refuse to let others help them when they are in need?
Today: 1) Class will read from pg. 95-98, looking for an instance of foreshadowing. What might happen later on in the play based on the hint that has been given?
2) In groups, students will read pp. 98-105 looking for instances of dramatic irony. How are Happy’s lies a form of dramatic irony?
3) Writing the Next Scene: Based on what Biff has told Happy about his meeting with Oliver and Happy's suggestions to Biff about what to tell Willy, how do you predict the next scene will play out? Write a 2-page scene showing what you feel will happen next. Will Biff tell Willy the truth or will he lie? How will Willy react? (Remember, this scene should take place at the restaurant and involve the same characters.)
Exit Slip: Why do you believe Happy wants Biff to lie to Willy about speaking to Oliver? Explain.
Homework: Finish writing your 2-page scene.
