“A Raisin in the Sun” Intro (page 21R)• Lorraine Hansberry was born in Chicago on May 19, 1930, the youngest
of four children. Her parents were well-educated, successful black citizens who publicly fought discrimination against black people. When Hansberry was a child, she and her family lived in a black neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. During this era, segregation—the enforced separation of whites and blacks—was still legal and widespread throughout the South. Northern states, including Hansberry’s own Illinois, had no official policy of segregation, but they were generally self-segregated along racial and economic lines. Chicago was a striking example of a city carved into strictly divided black and white neighborhoods. Hansberry’s family became one of the first to move into a white neighborhood, but Hansberry still attended a segregated public school for blacks. When neighbors struck at them with threats of violence and legal action, the Hansberrys defended themselves. Hansberry’s father successfully brought his case all the way to the Supreme Court.
A Raisin in the Sun (page 21R)• Hansberry wrote that she always felt the inclination to
record her experiences. At times, her writing—including A Raisin in the Sun—is recognizably autobiographical. She was one of the first playwrights to create realistic portraits of African-American life. When “A Raisin in the Sun” opened in March 1959, it met with great praise from white and black audience members alike. Arguably the first play to portray black characters, themes, and conflicts in a natural and realistic manner, “A Raisin in the Sun” received the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play of the Year.
(21R) The American Dream
• In the 1600s the American Dream was independence from Great Britain. That dream has been accomplished.
• Today, the American Dream is to come to the United States, get a good paying job, become successful, and provide a good life for your children. Essentially, the American Dream is to “live happily ever after”.
(21R) 1960s• The Civil Rights Movement
– The struggle against racism and segregation entered the mainstream of American life.
– Jim Crow Laws: Separate but equal.

(page 24L) Context Clues
Answer the following question in 2 sentences:• What are context clues?
HUH?
• Sometimes, we all come across words we don’t know.
• What do you do when you see a word you don’t know? Panic? Skip over it? Decide the reading is too hard and pick a new book?
I will help you solve the “huh?” problem!
• By reading the words and other text that surround an unfamiliar word, you can determine the meaning of the word.
• This is what we will focus on today!
What are context clues??
• Every word you hear or see has a context. The context goes a long way toward giving meaning to a word.
• The CONTEXT of a word means the group of words—the sentence or passage—that surrounds it.
• When you come across a word that has an unknown meaning to you, look at the words around it and they will help you identify the meaning of the unknown word.
But…how do we do it??USING CONTEXT CLUES
• 1.) Read the sentence carefully and focus on the overall meaning.
• 2.) Look for clues in nearby words.• 3.) Guess the meaning of the unfamiliar word.• 4.) Reread the sentence and see whether your guess
seems to fit.• 5.) Check your guess in a dictionary, if possible.
Let’s look at some examples…• The audience was so upset about the outcome of the basketball game
that a skirmish broke out and the police had to break it up.– 1.) Focus on the overall meaning: This passage is talking about the audience
being upset about something that happened at the basketball game, that the police had to break up.
– 2.) Clues in nearby words: We know that the audience was upset and that the police had to break something up.
– 3.) Guess the meaning: A fight.– 4.) See if our guess fits in the sentence: “The audience was so upset about
the outcome of the basketball game that a fight broke out and the police had to break it up.
– 5.) Check our guess. Yes!!
Try one on your own!!(Write out the steps on your own paper)
• I was complaining about being so thirsty that my mom handed me a gargantuan water bottle instead of the normal-sized one I usually used. – Steps:
• 1.)• 2.)• 3.)• 4.)• 5.) (Skip)
– What does the word mean??
How do we do this?
• Let’s take a look at an example together:Sentence: The sheer rock face was difficult to
climb.
The word sheer is not familiar to us, but if you take a look at the other words in the sentence, they can help us figure out what sheer means.
So what does sheer mean?
• The sheer rock face was difficult to climb.
• Knowing that something difficult to climb would be steep, you can determine that sheer means “steep”
1. The scientist prepared the medium in which she would cultivate the bacteria. What does medium mean in this sentence?
A. middle size or degreeB. form of communicationC. substance for conducting electricityD. mixture with nutrients
2. Based on clues in the following passage, what does the word ethnic mean?

A. how much money someone earnsB. national background of one’s ancestorsC. moral behaviorD. kind of job someone has
3. Based on the following passage, what does the word aqueduct mean?
