This was posted yesterday, but due to a maintenance issue with Blogger, it was removed mysteriously from the website.
Today 7th graders discussed act 2, scenes 2 & 3 from A Raisin in the Sun. We began class with a comprehension quiz on the reading, and then proceeded to discuss the many different manifestations of racism, both in the play and as we see those same behaviors reflected in our world today. This discussion focused primarily on the "Mrs. Johnson" scene in the play, but we also discussed the appearance of Mr. Lindner in act 2, scene 3. To support our discussion we watched the beginning of this video, which discusses black-on-black racism, not unlike the view demonstrated by Mrs. Johnson in A Raisin in the Sun.
