Objective: SWBAT examine a character’s perspective by empathizing and/or sympathizing with that character’s experiences. SWBAT recognize the difference between feelings of empathy and feelings of sympathy that they have toward the characters.
Do-Now: Respond to the following quote: “Don’t judge a man until you’ve walked a mile in his shoes.” What do you think this quote means? Do you agree with the quote? Why or why not? How can you relate this quote to your life?
Today: 1) Sympathy vs. Empathy
2) Class will read pp. 131-137. How is Asagai’s perspective on the Younger’s financial situation different from Beneatha’s? What are the reasons for these differences? Can you sympathize with either character? Can you empathize with either character?
3) Acting Out a Scene: In pairs or small groups, choose part of one of the scenes from "A Raisin in the Sun" (approximately TWO pages worth of dialogue) that you would like to act out for the class. Over the next week, you and your partner/group will memorize these lines and descide how to act them out for the class. You will present these scenes to the class next WEDNESDAY (a week from today). You may bring props/costumes to help make your scene more realistic.
Exit Slip: Which character in "A Raisin in the Sun" you you sympathize with the most? Explain. Which character do you empathize with the most? Explain.
