Watching A Raisin in the Sun (1961 Version)
- As we are watching the film version of the play, you will need to take notes over how you feel the film version was not well-adapted into a screenplay.
- Possible things you can discuss:
- Actor/actress selection
- Setting
- Clothing
- Dialogue
- Etc.
- These notes will be your responsibility to keep up with, and you will need them as we progress through the play, so do not lose them.
