Do grammar packet page number 11 for next class.
Remember that April assignment is to recite at least one stanza of "O Captain, My Captain." There are up to 24 extra credit points along with the 50 required points. In May, the extra points will go to 12 extra credit possible. Google the poem, or look back in the blog. You will see a video of a young lady singing it. That is a good way to learn the poem.
Between last class and today, we covered all of Act 1, scene 1. From this point on, we will use the designation of 1.1 Raisin in the Sun. Below is the movie. I have added how far the scenes go. I will add the later scenes as we get to them.
1.1 pages 3-26 movie clip from start to 35:50
1.2 pages 27-43 movie clip, stops at 1:03.53
This is where this youtube video ends, at the end of Act I.
A twenty minute video about the author Lorraine Hansberry is here for your use. There will be questions on our test about what is said in this video.
