Finish the drawing. Hint: it’s not a scribble.

I LOVE teaching, A Raisin in the Sun! I created this resource as a way to assess my students’ learning of this play’s themes and characterization. But the beauty of this activity is it can be used as either a formal or informal assessment. Best of all it’s an exercise in divergent thinking. I’ve included sample responses and sample essays, and a scoring rubric. Link in profile.

If you’re like me you’ve often wondered how to add hands-on activities to ELA lessons. These poetry task cards can be used with ANY poem. Students analyze poetry and respond by building, sketching , Or sculpting. Just supply the LEGOS, art materials, and modeling clay. Link in profile.
