Tracing the Youngers

In this sequencing worksheet, students trace key moments from A Raisin in the Sun by arranging ten major events in chronological order. Learners read each statement carefully, analyze the cause-and-effect relationships, and number the events to reflect their proper order within the play’s plot. This task helps students strengthen their understanding of narrative structure, plot progression, and character development within the Younger family’s story. A short written reflection at the end encourages critical thinking about how the sequence of events shapes the play’s larger themes of dreams and perseverance.
