POP QUIZ!

Agenda
1. Introduction to the play:
  • Go over the structure of the play (how does time work?)
  • Read pages v-vi as a class
  • Character list
  • Read stage directions and choose the best way to best show your understanding of the stage setup (Metacognition spiel from Ashley)

2. Assign student roles and Read pp 3-14 aloud


3. Go over the Annotation instructions for TNTSJ

4.  Silently read and annotate pages 14-40
  • Jot down annotations from pages 1-14
  • Try to annotate quotes that capture Thoreau's philosophy on: religion, education, the role of the government, justice, individualism/conformity
  • Also, try to identity juxtaposition on page 23: Which characters are juxtaposed and what similarities or differences are the playwrights highlighting?
  • If done early, get crackin' on homework!
Juxtaposition is a literary technique in which two or more ideas, places, characters and their actions are placed side by side in a narrative or a poem for the purpose of developing comparisons and contrasts.
