An effective way to demonstrate understanding is by synthesizing one's own work. Use a creative lesson plan designed for a unit on Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun for small groups to show what they know about the play, its themes and characters, and the elements of drama.

Classroom Considerations

  • Lesson was written by a student teacher, so there is a lot of background and rationale; however, the worksheet and activity are valuable for a lesson
  • Does not include an instruction sheet for class members beyond a page to list group members

Pros

  • Provides accommodations and modifications

Cons

  • None
