Journals Due; A Raisin in the Sun Quiz; Clybourne Park; A Raisin in the Sun Film

Your journals are due today. Please make sure your name is in your journal and please place them in the "inbox" today. I'll try to get these back to you no later than tomorrow.

As promised, we will take a quiz on A Raisin in the Sun. When we complete the quiz, you may sign out a copy of Clybourne Park (our next reading) and begin reading it (see homework!)

When all quizzes are turned in, we will begin screening the film A Raisin in the Sun (1961), directed by Daniel Petrie, starring Sidney Poitier (Walter-Lee), Claudia McNeil (Mama), and Ruby Dee as Ruth. Poitier was a pioneering black actor (and later director) that influenced many young African American actors/actresses who came after him. Both Claudia McNeil and Sidney Poitier were nominated for Best Actor/Actress for their roles in the film. Lorraine Hansberry wrote the screenplay.

Let's take a look.

HOMEWORK: Please read Act 1 of Clybourne Park by Bruce Norris. Bring your books back with you to our next class.
