    • Breakout Rooms: continue reading/acting the scene between Krogstad and Mrs. Linde Assignment

      In your Breakout Group complete reading/acting to page 1112 just as Helmer and Nora meet and speak together.

      Discussion in groups for: Sunny - Stephen - Dylan: Would you marry Mrs. Linde on the terms and for the reasons she offers to Krogstad?

      Discussion for: Judy - Erica - Even - Sarah : Would you marry Krogstad for the same reason Mr. LInde will?

      Agree and/or disagree with each other in your mixed groups. No written answer, just discuss!

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

      Teacher reads 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!" ?

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

      Teacher reads two pages and students 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. 

    • EXIT CARD: Must be completed before you leave the class Assignment
