Our A Raisin in the Sun course includes 2 themes: Act Analysis and Literary Analysis.

The Act Analysis theme is divided by act and scene.

The Literary Analysis theme includes the following topics:

The Free Response Questions tab includes 4 essay questions with prompts about the text as well as a rubric.

The questions cover the same topics as the Literary Analysis section: Character Analysis, Literary Devices, Social-Historical Context, and Themes & Motifs.

The Assessments Tab follows the same organizational structure as the Act Analysis questions and is organized by act and scene.

Within each section of the the Assessments Tab, the questions are divided into: Fill in the Blank and Multiple Choice.

All Albert questions are aligned to state standards relevant to the subject matter. Albert’s Literature questions are aligned to Common Core Standards for English Language Arts. 

This standards-alignment provides another easy way to find useful questions besides the Theme and Topic organization. Using the Standards button at the top left corner of any subject page, you can filter for just your state’s standard set then simply search for your state’s standards to find all questions in our course library aligned to that standard! For more details, please see this article in our Help section.

In addition to searching by the standards’ names, you can also search by their content! Simply type in a few words from the standard description to see all relevant standards pertaining to that content.

Albert’s Literature courses include 2 types of tags, reading skills tags and reading content tags.  These are words or phrases that provide information about what a question covers, such as “textual-evidence” or “world-literature”. Tags provide another easy way to search for relevant content in our course library. Simply search using the Tags button at the top left corner of any guidelevel.

A Raisin in the Sun uses a variety of question types to test students’ understanding of content and provide meaningful practice of important skills.
