English III—September 17, 2015 Daily Warm-up: Create a Graphic Organizer to compare the three types of irony—verbal, dramatic, and situational. Verbal—occurs when a speaker or narrator says one thing while meaning the opposite. Situational—occurs when an event contradicts the expectations of the characters or the reader. Dramatic—a form of irony in which the reader or audience knows more about the circumstances or future events than the characters within the scene. Homework: Reading Plus due Sunday at 11:59.

Scenario A: A friend convinced you to donate money to an environmental group last year. You attended one of its meetings six months ago but did not get actively involved. Last week, you heard that a member of the group blew up logging equipment to protest logging in the area. The FBI arrested that person, but it wants to collect the names of everyone involved in the group to prevent further violence. The FBI agent tells you that you have to give him the names of all the people at the meeting you attended. If you do not give him the names, you will be held in contempt and you could be put in jail until you give him the names. What will you do? Scenario B: You are an accountant for a large corporation. Your boss asks you to make some transactions that are possibly illegal. These types of transactions have been going on for some time, and the IRS is investigating the company and the transactions. You and a co-worker are considering being “whistle-blowers.” A whistle-blower is someone with inside information who shares it with authorities. If you become known as the whistle-blower, you could be fired, and you may not be able to get another job. You have been interviewed once by the IRS, but you have not told them all that you know. What will you do?

With your group, choose a scenario (A or B). You will create a skit that reveals your scenario, and you will act it out tomorrow in class. Your skit should include interesting characters (everyone has a part in your skit). Your skit should reveal the conflict of your scenario. Your skit should have a climax and a resolution. What does your character(s) choose to do? What are the consequences for your character(s) based on the choice to confess or not to confess? It should be evident that your skit relates to the courtroom drama seen in The Crucible. Court Room Drama: Evidence and Confession
