Objective: SWBAT describe how an instance of flashback is used to contrast with an accompanying scene.
Do-Now: Do you believe it’s not what you know, but who you know that’s important for determining how successful you are? Can you be successful based on the fact that you are well-known and well-liked? Can you be successful without anyone liking you? Explain.
Today: 1) Class will read pp. 84-90. How is flashback being used to contrast the scene that came before? What opportunities did Willy give up in the past? What hopes did the family have for Biff?
2) In groups, students will read pp. 90-94. What is the purpose of Bernard’s re-appearance in the play? How has Bernard succeeded where Biff has failed? How does Willy over exaggerate Biff’s success?
3) Write 2-3 paragraphs describing a time in your life where you have over exaggerated something about yourself or lied about yourself in order to make someone think better about you. Why did you choose to lie? What did you feel you had to prove?
Exit Slip: Why do you believe Willy lied about Biff to Bernard? How do these lies benefit Biff? How do these lies benefit Willy?
Homework: Finish any incomplete classwork or late homework assignments.
