About this resource
This quiz covers Act 2 of Lorraine Hansberry's seminal drama "A Raisin in the Sun," focusing on the complex family dynamics, cultural tensions, and socioeconomic challenges that drive the play's central conflicts. Designed for high school students at the 10th-12th grade level, these questions assess students' comprehension of character motivations, plot development, and thematic elements including racial identity, generational conflict, and the pursuit of the American Dream. Students need strong reading comprehension skills to track multiple character arcs simultaneously, analytical thinking to understand the significance of cultural symbols like Beneatha's African dance, and the ability to recognize dramatic irony in situations such as Walter's deception about his job and his ultimate betrayal of the family's trust. The quiz requires students to synthesize information across scenes, understanding how characters like Karl Lindner represent institutional racism, how Mrs. Johnson functions as a foil to highlight the family's courage, and how Walter's choices with the insurance money create the play's climactic crisis. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying American drama in grades 10-12. The assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, functioning effectively as a comprehension check after students complete their reading of Act 2, as a review tool before class discussions about the play's themes of racism and economic struggle, or as a formative assessment to gauge student understanding before moving to Act 3. Teachers can utilize this quiz as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge, assign it as homework to ensure students complete their reading, or incorporate it into small group activities where students discuss their answers to deepen comprehension. The detailed focus on character interactions and plot points supports Common Core standards CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.3 and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.11-12.3, which require students to analyze how complex characters develop over the course of a text and interact with other characters to advance the plot or develop themes.
