Objective: SWBAT describe how the mood in the Loman household has changed based on two potential, future events. SWBAT compare this change in mood to the changes seen in other plays they have read.
Do-Now: What “big plans” did Happy and Biff discuss at the end of Act 1? What are they planning on doing? How are they going to do this?
Today: 1) Class will read pp. 72-76 examining how the mood in the Loman household has changed based on potential events that may occur in the future.
2) In pairs, students will read pp. 76-84. How has the mood of the play changed? How have Willy’s dreams been shot down, once again? What might now happen to Willy?
Exit Slip: Willy expected to get a better job and now, instead, has lost the job he had. If you were Willy, what might you be feeling/thinking now? What would you be worried about?
Homework: Write 2-3 paragraphs describing a time in your life where you were let down. A time where you expected something great and, instead, were disappointed. Compare your story to Willy’s.
