Finish Reading Act II of A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry
Bell-Ringer Journal
- Length: 6-8 complete thoughts/sentences/independent clauses
- Prompt: A few class periods ago, we worked on creating a family tree that (to the best of our abilities) reflected three different generations of our families. What do you feel the purpose of creating this sort of thing is in conjunction with reading A Raisin in the Sun? Which of the characters in the story would see the most meaning in the creation of a family tree? Why?
- Connection of genealogy research to A Raisin in the Sun.
- What new discoveries did you make while researching your lineage?
- Which of the characters presented in the play, so far, do you feel would find the most meaning in this?
- Why would that character find this to be such a good thing?
- Refer to "Day 04: 03/22/2017" for more information on the creation of this family tree.
- Whatever was not finished in class this day from Act II of the play will become homework - be sure to have this completed for next class.
