Objective: SWBAT find an instance of foreshadowing in a play and describe what event it might be predicting. SWBAT find three examples of dramatic irony in a play and explain how effectively it is being used.
Do-Now: Would you be willing to lie to someone in order to make them happy, even though there is a chance they might discover the truth one day? Explain why or why not.
Today: 1) What instances of foreshadowing have we seen so far in the play?
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) Class will read from pg. 95-98, looking for an instance of foreshadowing. What might happen later on in the play based on the hint that has been given?
4) In groups, students will read pp. 98-105 looking for instances of dramatic irony. How are Happy’s lies a form of dramatic irony?
5) Class will read pp. 105- 114. How are Willy’s flashbacks mixed in with the present scene? How is the author trying to show that this is not the first time Biff has disappointed his father?
Exit Slip: What is starting to happen to Willy? What do you believe is causing this to happen to him?
Homework: Write 2-3 paragraphs describing a time in your life where you have overexaggerated 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?
