Week 11 has been a change compared to previous weeks. Instead of reading a novel and reflecting, we read a play, and will plan on finishing it in week 12. I like how we expanded our source of reading. It adds diversity to our curriculum.
The play we are reading is called "A Raisin in the Sun" is based on the late 50's about an African American family attempting to "better" their lives. In the class we connected this topic the "American dream".
With reading the play, we also reflected it with worksheets to expand our knowledge on it and refresh our memories. Also, we listened to music from that time period that related to the play, in our own words we got to express how it related to the related content.
