      AS Learning

      5 Questions (2 marks each)

      Time Limit: 10 minutes

    • 6.6.: Read and Act out together the scene where Dr. Rank enters on page 1114 Assignment

      Students read from page 1114 when Dr. Rank speaks with Torvald and Nora

      Questions to discuss and answer: 

      1. What character traits does Torvald reveal in his reaction to learning that Dr. Rank will soon die? 
      2. The scene is filled with irony. Identify two examples of irony (either verbal, situational or dramatic)


    • Read from page 1114 - 1115 with Dr. Rank's entrance Assignment

      Read until page 1115 and students continue reading/acting the scene between Helmer and Nora in BREAKOUT ROOMS up to the bottom of page 1116 "Goodbye Torvald. Goodbye my darlings"

      What is Nora planning to do after she says these words? What do you think she means by saying "Goodbye!" ?

    • Read from page 1116: Krogstad's letter is in the mailbox Assignment

      Read and complete the reading to page 1118 where Torvald declares "I am saved! Nora, I am saved!" Nora responds: What about me?"

      Her response represents a dramatic SHIFT and TURNING POINT in Nora's character.

      Up until this moment she has been a rather FLAT and STATIC character. Discuss this in your group.

      FOR HOMEWORK:

      In a 200-250 word well-written paragraph, describe how Nora has gradually been shifting from a rather flat and static protagonist into a round and dynamic one. Use examples from the play to support your opinions.
