Presentation Transcript


  1. 3/26/14 • Bellwork: On page 96 of your INB, complete the following activity while I check journals: • (leave room for classwork, too) • Create a euphemism for something in your life that you would rather refer to in a more discreet manner. Give an explanation and why you would use it. • How does this relate to the play?: • Algernon creates the euphemism for leading a double-life that he calls “Bunburying”. He says to his friend Jack/Ernest, “what you really are is a Bunburyist” because he invented a story about a sick friend, Mr. Bunbury, so he could hide whenever he wanted. • Agenda: • Bellwork • Journal checks during bellwork • Irony (classwork) • Put the handout on page 97 • DIRECTIONS: Under bellwork, I would like you to write a skit for each type of irony. You should include all people in your group. • Have fun with this! • Your next journal entries will go on page 111. I have things planned between these pages and those!
