Objective: SWBAT find TWO examples of dramatic irony in Act 3, Scenes 2-4 of "Romeo and Juliet."
Do-Now: Do you believe "banishment" is an appropriate punishment for Romeo? Explain why or why not. If you were the Prince, how might you have punished Romeo for killing Tybalt? Consider the following: Tybalt killed Mercutio by accident, but Romeo killed Tybalt on purpose. The punishment for Tybalt's crime of killing Mercutio would be death and Romeo's act of killing Tybalt carried out that punishment.
Today: 1) Class will read Act 3, Scene 2. How does this scene represent dramatic irony? What situational irony is present in this scene?
2) Class will read Act 3, Scene 3. Why is Romeo so upset with his banishment? Why does he consider his banishment worse than death?
3) Students will read Act 3, Scene 4. How does this scene represent dramatic irony? How will the events in this scene cause further complications for Romeo and Juliet?
Homework: People's Court: Building upon your journal response, you will choose to either prosecute or defend Romeo. As a prosecuter, you will gather evidence from the text and explain how this evidence proves that Romeo is guilty of murder and deserves to be punished. As a defender, you will gather evidence from the text and explain how this evidence proves Romeo is not as fault for Tybalt's death and should be free from any punishment. You should provide at least THREE pieces of evidence to defend your case. Be sure to include the line(s) of text from the play, the page number, and an explanation of how the line(s) proves Romeo's guilt or innocence.
Exit Slip: Give TWO examples of dramatic irony from today's reading and explain how they represent dramatic irony.
