We finished Act I of the Diary of Anne Frank

Homework:
I will give a quiz MONDAY on the first three groups of words.  Practice here.
(I did not stress this enough this week.  I want students to be prepared.)


Warm-up:
If you would like to read the play at home, it can be found on this page.

Who said these quotes?
Burn them.  All of them. (Mr. Frank- not a quality quote for him.)
I’ve got to go to the other side of town to get some ration books for you. (Miep- Not a quality quote for her.)
I’m sort of a lone wolf. (Peter- This is a good quote for him.)
And Anne hasn’t had her milk . . . (Mrs. Frank- Not a good quote.)
You’ll be all right, Peter? You’re not afraid? (Mrs. Van Dann- Not a good quote.)
Mother is unbearable. She insists on treating me like a baby, which I loathe. (Anne- Not a good quote.)
No. No. (Mr. Van Dann- Not a good quote.)
              (Margot- it's a joke.  She did not speak yet.)

                  Objectives:
                  Students will identify the initial incident which starts the rising action.
                  Students will continue to complete the worksheet focusing on the characters' internal conflicts.

                  Agenda:
                  Continue to listen to the play.
                  Stop at key moments to fill in the sheet.
