TEST OVER MOCKINGBIRD FRIDAY. BE READY


TEST OVER MOCKINGBIRD FRIDAY. BE READY
TODAY we will start reading Lorraine Hansberry's play A Raisin in the Sun. The movie version with Sidney Poitier playing the lead role of Walter Lee Younger. I like finishing up the year with this play because it focuses on the American dream, the primary focus of the American Literature curriculum.  Enjoy!

If you'd like to watch another film version of the play, you can find it on YouTube.
