Objective: By the end of class, students will demonstrate reading comprehension, identify 2 types of irony and site character words, actions and descriptions to determine traits that affect behavior.
DO NOW
What kind of man was Patrick? Name at least three character traits and tell me why you think what you think. I want you to reread what he says to Mary on the top of page 319 before you finalize your answer.
Direct Instruction
Finish reading Lamb to the Slaughter pages 320-324.
Guided
Use t-charts to identify at least three examples of situational irony and 3 of dramatic irony (total = 6 examples).
On the opposite side of the irony t-chart, identify quotes from the text that reveal Mary's character. Remember character traits can be determined by what she says, what she does, how other character's interact with her and also physical descriptions.
Independent
Using the information from your t-chart, complete the following:
Analyze Mary's behavior from the beginning of the story until the end. How does it change? From what you know about her, is it ironic that she "giggles" at the end? What exactly is she giggling about?
Exit Pass - think about this and decide yes or no. Your DO NOW tomorrow will ask you to analyze and evaluate this question in dettail and will count as a quiz.
Do you think Dahl use of irony was effective in delivering the message of jealousy, betrayal and revenge?
