13 May - Rain, Raisin, and Tuesdays

English 11

No recording for today because most of today was spent enjoying A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry. We watched the rest of Act 1, Scene 1 as a class in order to understand the motivations for each of the main characters, the foiling of Walter and Benethea, and the message around the American Dream that is being created by Hansberry in her text. I liked the fact that so many of you were engaged by hearing Hansberry talk about her own work. Please continue to visit that podcast if you'd like to keep listening.

During our independent time, there were several choices. It is important that any missing assignments are submitted as soon as possible. These are final demonstrations of skill. We have one task left which is our final writing task, and we'll start working on that during Thursday's class. If you have any questions or concerns about anything related to your grade or assignments, reach out immediately.

Have a great weekend! Once you have items complete, please submit them. I'll score immediately and update SIS - you can always revise and resubmit tasks as you finalize your grades for the year.
