Tuesday, September 13

Objective: Students will be able to identify one internal and one external conflict that the characters Beneatha and Asagai face in Act 1, Scene 2 of “A Raisin in the Sun.”

Do-Now: Describe a conflict you have recently faced (either internal or external).  How did you attempt to resolve that conflict?  Were you successful?  Explain.

Today: 1) Class will review the major events of Act 1, Scene 1 in “A Raisin in the Sun.”  What conflicts have occurred between the characters and how do they remain unresolved?

2) Class will read pp. 54-60 examining Ruth’s internal and external conflict as she reveals her unplanned pregnancy.


3) Students will read pp. 60-66, either independently or in pairs, examining Beneatha and Asagai’s internal and external conflicts (Beneatha tries to assert her independence as Asagai attempts to impress her.)


4) Open Mind: Students will choose either Beneatha or Asagai and fill out an “Open Mind” worksheet in which they describe what they feel each character may have been feeling/thinking during the scene.

HOMEWORK: Finish Open Mind
