Resources--activities, quizzes, essay options, discussion questions, etc.--for Raisin in the Sun.
As with all of my unit plans, I do not lay out for you specifically how to teach the unit step-by-step, though in this case a few of the documents do have schedules. Instead, I give you all of my resources--and they are extensive here--and you pick and choose what works for you, in the manner that suits your style and your students best. Having said that, you'll find everything you could possibly need here: activities, quizzes, paper assignments (expository and creative), pre-reading activities, literary criticism, etc. Explore and be creative! Let me know what you come up with.
This package provides excellent value for the money.

Help
I am going to be teaching "A Raisin in the Sun" for the first time this fall and just bought your unit resources. I glanced through and I don't see any guide to sequencing or suggestions for sequencing. This would be really helpful. Am I wrong or is that not there?

Not there. It's been my practice with my items not to dictate a map or sequence for teaching the tools; you know your students best, after all.

I've taught English at high schools in the Chicago suburbs and currently teach as an adjunct Comp/rhetoric instructor at area community colleges. I'm also currently a curriculum and assessment consultant and have worked with ACT, NAGB, McGraw Hill, MacNeil Lehrer Productions, Scott Foresman, and more.
