This learning resource focuses on the analysis of conflict and character motivations in Lorraine Hansberry's play 'A Raisin in the Sun'. It encourages students to explore both internal and external conflicts experienced by the characters, particularly between Walter Lee Younger and Beneatha. Through guided practice, students will identify different types of conflict, including person vs. person, person vs. self, and person vs. society. The lesson plan includes reading excerpts, retrieval practices, and creative tasks designed to help students express their understanding of the characters' struggles and societal challenges. Engaging with Langston Hughes' poem 'Harlem', students will connect its imagery to Walter's aspirations and frustrations. Ultimately, this resource aims to deepen comprehension of character development and thematic elements within the play.
