Period 3
This week we will finish reading A Raisin in the Sun. Pay particular attention to the struggles that the Youngers face, and analyze the root of those problems. To reply, you need to think about how the 1950s is portrayed in this play. Key words to focus on are racism, sexism, and poverty.
Period 5
Journals based on The House That Thoreau Built are due Wednesday. Your last day to work in class is Monday. Please be sure to polish your work. Always be very specific. Avoid those vague pronouns and answer these questions: Who? What? Why? When? Where? How?
We will celebrate your hard work with a small party and a reading of your entries this Wednesday.
