  1. Aim: What does Ruth contemplate doing? Do Now: Start thinking: We are now in the 3rd marking period – what do you plan to do to improve your grades?

  2. Beneatha’s Identity • Cultural assimilation is the process by which a person or a group's language and, or culture come to resemble those of another group. • Theme: Roots vs. Assimilation • This is a big idea that is explored in this play. We see it explored through a few characters – who are they? • How do you balance holding onto your roots while also assimilating to your new culture?

  3. Ruth’s Dilemma • Dilemma: a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, esp. equally undesirable ones. • Why is Ruth considering abortion? Why does she possibly see this option as necessary? • With both Beneatha and Ruth, how is Hansberry presenting the struggles of women?
