Do-Now: What are the stereotypical gender roles ascribed to men and women? What are men expected to act like? What are they expected to do? What are women expected to act like? What are they expected to do?
Today: 1) Class will make a list of gender roles for both men and women. Class will look at the characters Ruth and Walter and how each of them follows/doesn’t follow their gender role.
2) Class will continue to read Act 1 of “A Raisin in the Sun.” How does Beneath differ from her gender expectations? Why is she so different from Ruth?
3) Students will continue reading Act 1, looking for further examples of how each of the female characters fulfill/don’t fulfill their gender roles.
4) Class will create a VENN diagram comparing/contrasting Ruth/Beneatha based on their actions/dialogue.
