Objective: SWBAT describe how an instance of situational irony and an instance of dramatic irony are used to create humor in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
Do-Now: Recall the THREE conflicts which have been established so far in the play involved the THREE plotlines which were shown. How might all three of these plots meet and mix in together?
Today: 1) Class will finish reading Act 2, Scene 1. What additional conflict has been added to the play?
2) Class will read Act 2, Scene 2. Describe the situational irony in Scene 2. Describe the dramatic irony occurring in this scene. How are the separate plotlines beginning to come together? How might the third plotline become involved?
3) Class will watch Act 2.
Exit Slip: Now that Puck has made Lysander fall in love with Hermia, what might happen? How will this complicate the already complicated situation between the four young lovers?
Homework: People’s Court: Pretend Oberon took Titinia to court in order to gain custody of the Indian boy. What might each character say in his/her defense? (Why do each of them feel the boy belongs to them?) What might the judge rule? Write a 2-page court scene in which the conflict gets played out and resolved.
