A Raisin in the Sun: Acts 2 & 3

Today we will watch the rest of the film A Raisin in the Sun. If you did not already do so, please turn in your homework from two class periods ago. (see post below for details)

After the film, take a moment to reflect and critique the play. What situations/plot points, characters, etc. made the play worth watching? What important lessons about life does Hansberry provide us with? What did you learn about script writing from reading/watching this play/film?

Take 2-3 minutes and share your opinions with another student.

Any time remaining, please go to the lab and continue working on your portfolio or play script project from last class. See previous post for details.

HOMEWORK: None.
