Objective: SWBAT
describe how an instance of flashback is used to contrast with an accompanying
scene.
Do-Now: Do
you believe it’s not what you know, but who you know that’s important for
determining how successful you are? Can
you be successful based on the fact that you are well-known and
well-liked? Can you be successful
without anyone liking you? Explain.
Today: 1) Review Willy's flashbacks
2) Class
will read pp. 84-90. How is flashback
being used to contrast the scene that came before? What opportunities did Willy give up in the
past? What hopes did the family have for
Biff?
3) 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?
Exit Slip: Why
do you believe Willy lied about Biff to Bernard? How do these lies benefit Biff? How do these lies benefit Willy?
Homework: Write
2-3 paragraphs describing a time in your life where you have over exaggerated
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?
