1. Read Act I Scene 2 in A Raisin in the Sun

- On a sheet of paper, explain your thoughts and feelings about Walter at this point in the text.  Explain why? Do you have any sympathy for him?  Use examples.  Should be at least 3/4 of a page


2. Fully annotate the poem "Let America Be America Again" - please do not just hightlight.  Tomorrow's class will be based entirely on it

3. By next Friday, you should have your new independent reading book.  In celebration of Black History Month (in February), your book should focus on a hero (African, African American, from the Caribbean, from the diaspora).
