Homework Assignment: 2/1/19
Directions: Please watch the film, "A Raisin in the Sun," by Lorraine Hansberry (the 1961 version only). You can either rent it online for about $4 or from a library. If you have an Amazon account, you can watch it online for FREE! I Googled the name, clicked on "Videos" and clicked on the one that read, "Watch on IMDB if you have an Amazon account" (I have Prime, but I'm not sure that's a requirement to have in order to watch it). Partner up and watch it together with popcorn to save money!
Viewing Instructions: As you are watching the movie, annotate and take notes, paying close attention to the literature devices (i.e., setting, plot, characterization, conflict, point of view, theme, tone, diction, language, figurative language, historical/cultural context, phenomenology, etc.). Analyze the film with fidelity.

Afterwards, come to class prepared to answer questions and participate in a Socratic Conver-STATION-style discussion about the film!
