Tuesday, November 15

Objective: SWBAT list THREE elements from the set of “Death of a Salesman” that are used to create mood and describe how each of these elements creates mood.

Do-Now: How can the setting of a story be used to help create the story's mood?  Think back to "Fences" and "A Raisin in the Sun."  How were the settings of each play described?  What mood did this create for each play?

Today: 1) Present "Othello" Scenes

2) Begin reading "Death of a Salesman" pp. 10-12, looking for elements of the setting used to create mood.

3) In pairs, read pp. 12-17.  What problem are we introduced to as the play begins?

Exit Slip: Look back at the play’s setting and list THREE elements of the setting that are used to create mood.  Explain how these elements create the mood of the first scene.

Homework: Using the description of the setting given at the beginning of Act 1, draw a diagram of the stage, labeling each of the important pieces.  Pretend that a stage crew will be using this diagram to set-up the stage for a production of the play.
