Essential Question: What happens to a dream deferred?
Today in class we checked the reading comprehension questions from the excerpt from The Cay. We made up a few similes and I discussed Monday's lesson. Then we shared the reading of A Raisin in the Sun and I cast it pretty well. I enjoyed it all four times. My homeroom came back at the end of the day to enjoy their prize for winning a poster contest: a soda party with the added bonus of watching the UNC/FSU game on TV. I broke out the Scrabble games and they were a hit around the room. I'll be sure to keep that going.
Homework: SSR.
