Friday, June 4

We listened to most of Act I of The Crucible while students read along silently (escept in Per. 6), where we watched parts of yesterday's video.

HW due Monday:

(1) Read Act II of The Crucible.

(2) Final deadline for the Outside Reading Assignment. (See Documents page for a copy of the assignment sheet.)
The assignment must be turned in to turnitin.com as well as to me.


Thursday, June 3

Students watched part of a documentary film on The Fifties as background to The Crucible. Arthur Miller wrote the play in response to what he and many others regarded as the anti-communist witch hunt in that period.
