Freebee: Lights, Camera, Action! - A Raisin in the Sun

11/30/2014

freebee friday I hope all my American teachers and friends had a fantastic Thanksgiving! I'm certainly thankful to have you all in my life, and to be able to share knowledge with you! So let’s talk turkey on this holiday weekend. A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry is part of the curriculum in many middle schools and high schools. This week’s free Lights, Camera, Action! lesson plan focuses specifically on that play. Use it to guide Grade 7–12 students toward achieving these CCSS goals:

R.CCR.1 Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.

R.CCR.2 Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas.

W.CCR.3 Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details, and well-structured event sequences.

Have some fun with this freebee. Adapt it to the study of other dramatic works. And, as always, feel free to share it with your colleagues. Because we teachers are our own best resource.
