Threads of a Dream Answer Key

This worksheet asks students to connect ten short scenarios inspired by A Raisin in the Sun to one of three central themes: Dreams, Race, or Family. Learners analyze each excerpt, determine its thematic relevance, and circle the correct theme, reinforcing their comprehension of how individual actions and dialogue reveal deeper meanings. This exercise develops literary analysis skills and encourages students to think critically about how Lorraine Hansberry interweaves social, emotional, and aspirational struggles throughout the play.
