Tuesday, September 25

Objective: SWBAT describe an instance of foreshadowing in "Fences."  SWBAT describe a character's internal vs. external motivation.

Do-Now: Who/What motivated you to come to school today?  (Why did you come to school today?)  Were you forced to come or did you come because you wanted to?  Explain your reasons for being here in this classroom today.

Today: 1) Internal Motivation vs. External Motivation: 

Internal Motivation is when you do something for yourself or someone else out of your own free will.

External Motivation is when someone forces you to do something or offers a consequence for not doing what they ask or offers a reward for complying with what they ask.

2) In groups, read the remainder of Act 1, Scene 4 pp. 50-58.  Create a timeline of Troy's life using the story he gives.  Your timeline should include SIX major events in Troy's life.  Each group member is responsible for his/her own timeline.

3) Open Mind : Internal vs. External Motivation: To show your understanding of internal vs. external motivation, fill out an Open Mind listing/drawing the things/people who motivate you.  On the inside of the mind, list what motivates you INTERNALLY and, on the outside, list the things/people who motivate you EXTERNALLY.

Homework: Finish your Open Mind
