The Crucible, Act IV and Pre-Writing

Today's bellwork is here. 2nd block finished up Act IV of The Crucible by watching the film version. Afterwards, we turned in our Act III Strategic Reading handout. We then worked on a handout over theme, entitled Literary Concepts: Theme. That handout should be completed and is available on the bookshelf at the front of the room. Finally, we began to brainstorm for our essay that we'll type next week. The brainstorming guide is available here. The paper should use the themes of The Crucible to make connections between the play and modern life. Email me if you have any questions at stsotheran@spsmail.org.
