A Raisin in the Sun Unit Plan

I just finished my eighth grade drama unit with A Raisin in the Sun. I am so excited with the quality of work that my students completed as they were able to respond to high levels of thinking and inferencing. They made some great connections throughout the unit. I've taught the text a number of times, but this year it really came together in a way that was enjoyable, educational, and empathetic. (Wanted to throw some alliteration in there!). The A Raisin in the Sun flip book that I purchased on Teachers Pay Teachers provided a great framework for the unit. I've uploaded my complete A Raisin in the Sun unit guide that includes a lot of the materials that I used as well as a curriculum map. I'm going to take photos and upload student examples this week, so make sure to check back for some exemplary student work!
