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.
