Objective: SWBAT describe how the conflicts in a play are resolved by the main character’s demise. SWBAT evaluate the effectiveness of a requiem.
Do-Now: FREE WRITE FRIDAY (Write 5-7 complete sentences about anything you want)
Today: 1) Review Conflict Chart
2) Class will finish reading "Death of a Salesman" pp. 134-136.
3) In groups, read the "Requiem" pp. 137-139. Finish filling out your conflict chart, explaining how each charater's conflicts are resolved (or left unresolved) by Willy's death.
4) Requiem Re-Write: The "Requiem" given to us in the book is very depressing. We learn that no one attended Willy's funeral (even though Willy predicted many people would show) and Linda has finally paid off their house, but has no one left to live with her. Your assignment is to Re-Write the "Requiem" scene, giving it a more positive tone. Your scene can take place at any location you choose and contain any characters from the book, as well as any additional characters you may want to create for the purpose of the scene. If you want to use Willy in this scene, he must appear as a ghost. Focus on how you can re-write the scene to make Willy's death a more positive event. Length = 2 pages.
Homework: Finish your Requiem Re-write.
