Riley once again played the part of the devil as we finished up Paradise Lost today. Make sure you get the notes from a classmate. Ben, you missed the entire unit. Riley has an old video that you can watch, BUT MAKE SURE YOU GET THE NOTES FROM A CLASSMATE.
We ended the day with Satan’s Letter to his Girlfriend – you can find the letter in LMS in the Hell folder and then clock on the Paradise Lost folder.
Does it make sense now why Riley used the flames for this folder?
We finished the Raisin in the Sun discussion board questions today – make sure you respond to at least one other classmate’s opinions.
We read and discussed Langston Hughes’ poem “A Dream Deferred” (make sure you read this!) and then we read the Shmoop “Why Care” about A Raisin in the Sun.
We looked at demographic information, talked about white flight, and watched the video in Without Sanctuary. Lastly, we reviewed some of the Jim Crow laws that used to be in effect in the US.
