Objective: SWBAT describe the internal and external conflicts of THREE characters from “Death of a Salesman.”
Do-Now: What conflicts have been established so far in Act 1 of “Death of a Salesman?” What problems does Willy face? What problems do other members of his family face?
Today: 1) Review Internal vs. External Conflict. What conflicts is Willy faced with so far in the play? Students will create a conflict chart and add Willy as the first entry.
2) Class will continue reading “Death of a Salesman” pp. 19-21. What appear to be Biff’s internal and external conflicts? What CLUES are given to us in the story that suggest these conflicts? Students will add Biff to their conflict charts.
3) In pairs, students will read pp. 22-27, focusing on Biff and Happy’s internal and external conflicts. Students will add Happy to their conflict charts.
4) Using the description of the setting given at the beginning of Act 1, draw a diagram of the stage, labeling each of the important pieces. Pretend that a stage crew will be using this diagram to set-up the stage for a production of the play.
Exit Slip: Out of all the characters in the play who have been introduced so far, whose conflict can you relate to the most? Explain.
Homework: Finish drawing stage diagram
