Raisin in the Sun

Looking ahead (way ahead!)...when you get into the material that was given to us for teaching Raisin - it suggests using "The 7 Habbits of Highly Effective Teens". Rather than use the notebook ideas (since I don't have enough students for them to each or groups to teach a Habit!)I found a site that I will use instead. It has lots of activities that I think will be more meaningful to my students...
