Viewing Act II of A Raisin in the Sun 1961 Film Version
Continuation of Notes over Film
Family Tree Activity
Bell-Ringer Journal
- Length: 6-8 complete thoughts/sentences/independent clauses
- Prompt: Through our treatment of A Raisin in the Sun this grading period, we have read parts of the original play (written in 1959), viewed part of a 1961 film adaptation of the play, and viewed part of a 1989 film version of the play. How does the impact of the play differ from when it was written in 1959, converted to film version in 1961, and converted to film version again in 1989. If it does change the impact of the play, how so? If it does not, why not? How would a modern adaptation of the play be received by audiences of today? How so?

Viewing Act 02 of A Raisin in the Sun (1961)
- Remember, as we are watching this version of the play, your job is to take accurate notes of subtle differences you notice between the written script of the play and the film version that we are watching in class.
- There is no specific format to your notes because they are entirely for your benefit.
- These will, however, be used to complete a larger assignment surrounding the analysis between the film version and the written script of the play.
Family Tree Activity
- With what time remains in class today, you will need to continue work on your family tree activity.
- Mr. Anthony will be asking you to "share" your family tree with him before the end of the class period today.
