Objective: SWBAT characterize THREE of the main characters from "Fences." SWBAT describe what life was like for a player in the negro leagues prior to the desegregation of baseball.
Do-Now: Write ONE example of direct characterization and ONE example of indirect characterization. Use YOURSELF to describe. (Ex. Ms. Winberg is wearing a polka dot dress and purple shoes. Ms. Winberg rarely smiles at her students and repeats everything she teaches them three times.)
Today: 1) Review Characterization: Direct vs. Indirect Characterization
2) Read Act 1, Scene 1 Pp. 1-13 of "Fences." Characters: Troy, Bono, Rose
3) Characterization Chart: How would you characterize each of the three characters we've been introduced to? (Use both examples of indirect and direct characterization.)
4) In groups, read "The Negro Leagues."
5) Work on folders/portfolios (if time left)
Exit Slip: Write a paragraph (5-7 sentences) describing what life would have been like for Troy if he had joined the negro leagues.
