A Raisin in the Sun—Reading Journals
For the next few classes, we will be reading the play A Raisin in the Sun. Each day, at the end of class, I will ask you to start a journal that will be due the next day. If you do not have a full page of writing, then you should complete the journal at home.
For each journal, pick one thing from each column, and discuss how they relate. It is OK to discuss other characters or ideas, but the journal ought to focus on the character and idea you choose. Also, you may find it helpful to focus on the same character each time.
