• catch-up time to make sure you have all possible outstanding assignments turned in (2.4, 2.7, and the Puritanism KWL)
• quick chat about the expectations and guidelines for discussion of societal conflicts
• share out of societal conflicts - written on the board
• each of you was given a few Post-Its on which to write 3 societal conflicts you could "talk or write or argue about all day" - either writing your name on them, or not
• I asked you to spend 5-7 minutes filling out a McCarthyism K-W-L
• We shared out info about McCarthyism
• We had an informal class discussion about how McCarthyism could possibly have paralleled witchcraft

REMINDER OF MY LATE POLICY > now that there isn't wacky weather on the horizon

DUE: light annotations on the readings in Activity 2.14 - don't forget that you are reading this to help understand how McCarthyism relates to witchcraft, as well as how Miller used the setting of 1692 Salem to "throw shade / subtweet" at the U.S. government / the F.B.I.

Remember: my standard late policy is back in play, now that the weather isn't wacky and we're past Mid-Terms

• Looking quickly at the upcoming Embedded Assessment again (p. 144)
• Quick discussion / presentation about other conflicts > scenes
• Answering big-picture questions, as a pre-writing strategy, about the cultural context of McCarthyism - as well as about Salem
• Draft Writing Prompt 2.14
• Draft progress check-in, an Academic Initiative Score
• Beginning 2.7 - also considering the "heat map" of societal conflicts

Homework:

finish the 2.14 Writing Prompt, in G'Docs, to be handed in via the Classroom on Tuesday March 7

take a copy of The Crucible home, and fill out the chart on p. 113, including text evidence to prove your assertion
