Mini-Culminating Activity – A Raisin in the Sun
Task: Write an article to be included in a class newspaper about the characters, events, and places in A Raisin in the Sun.
You are responsible for writing a story (or stories) for the newspaper. You can choose from the following:
· 1 Headline story (i.e., Youngers move to Clybourne Park, Beneatha Younger leaves home for Africa, Playwright Lorraine Hansberry dies at 35)
· 1 Feature story (gardening, horseback riding, the city of Chicago, etc.)
· 2 of any of these: style, arts & entertainment, sports, police report, obituary, business/finance, travel/leisure, home/living
Remember:
· Must be typed. Your name should be in the byline. (Ex: Language Arts Teacher has SWAG, by Carrie Beth Davis)
· No plagiarism. Your work must be cited! Do NOT copy and paste from encyclopedia or any other source. Plagiarism = 0.
· This will be a test grade! Do a good job, or be prepared to reap the consequences.
· This is the ONLY day I’m promising you in the media center. What you don’t get done today, you will be responsible for finishing on your own time.
· Email finished assignment to davisamericanlit@gmail.com

1st and 3rd Block – Remember: You also need to do a final, typed draft of your character/item poem from yesterday. Make it pretty, but do NOT spend more than 5 minutes or so typing it up! PRINT it, and turn it in to me. DO NOT email it to me unless I give you direct permission to do so. (Remember, printing is 10 cents/page for black and white!)
