A Note About A Few Of The Many Different Assignments Included: There are three writing assignments in this unit, each with the purpose of informing, persuading, or expressing personal opinions. The first assignment gives students an opportunity to use details from the play to write a letter to Stella, advising her on her relationship with Stanley. Though students will adopt a persona from which to write, they should express their personal opinions about Stanley as both a husband and father. The second writing assignment asks students to practice using secondary sources and to write using facts gleaned from them. Students will write a report detailing an actual incident in which someone suffered as a result of discrimination. This assignment will use the articles students prepared for their non-fiction reading assignment. The final writing assignment requires students to write persuasively about connections they perceive between passages. Students will select three passages which they feel echo one another in some way. Students must analyze their passages and put forward an argument about the significance of their discovery. There is also an independent project in this unit. Students will create time capsules to contain the mementos of their lives, as Blanche has her love letters, tiara and dresses, and they will write about the symbolic importance of each item. Uses: These materials are geared for whole class use but are very easily adaped for independent study work, lit circles or book groups, home school use, or tutoring.
