Objective: SWBAT describe three major events in the exposition and conflict in the first scene of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
Do-Now: Respond to the following quote: “The course of true love never did run smooth.” Do you agree that finding and keeping true love is never easy? Explain why or why not.
Today: 1) Class will review the Plot Pyramid, focusing on exposition and conflict.
2) Class will begin to read Act 1, Scene 1 of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” What are the first two major events that occur in the play’s exposition?
3) In groups, students will finish reading Act 1, Scene 1. Describe Helena’s plan to win back Demetrius.
4) Class will look at the three couples introduced in the first scene of the play. What conflict does each couple have?
Exit Slip: Why do you believe Helena still loves Demetrius even though he doesn’t love her? Why is she willing to ruin Lysander and Hermia’s plan in order to get Demetrius back?
