It could be very difficult to choose one scene from these highly emotional, action-filled play. The students can be grouped in groups of five or six and assigned a scene to perform in the classroom. This would allow more students to actively participate.
Some scenes to consider from
A Raisin in the Sun
would be the scene in which Walter Lee expresses his dream to be a business man and own a liquor store the scene in which the family discovers Walter Lee has lost the money; the scene in which the representative from Clybourne Park offers to bury their house; or the scene that Beneatha explains Africa to Mama.
Some scenes to consider from the
The Oxcart
would be when Luis decides to move the family to San Juan and work in the factory; when Juanita begs Luis to move them away from San Juan; or when Juanita points out how unhappy Da. Gabriela has become.
