Literature Focus for the Week
On Tuesday, we will continue to build a little more background about the New England Puritans before delving into The Crucible, a play by Arthur Miller about the Salem witch trials.
As we start The Crucible on Wednesday, we will be completing journals in class every few days that incorporate narrative writing skills. As we read the play, we will ask students to take roles, as we read and discuss the play in class.
