Yesterday (Sept. 11)
Bellwrite: What is evil?
We began considering the worldview of Puritans during the Salem Witch trials as an introduction to our study of Arthur Miller's play The Crucible. We began reading the play and noted that Miller does not have a favorable view of Puritan society, at least during the Salem Witch trials.
No homework
Today (Sept. 12)
No Bellwrite
We continued reading The Crucible. While reading, students are expected to annotate to enhance their comprehension. We read up through page 14. We discussed Miller's observation that all organization is based on exclusions and prohibitions and that unity must be balanced with individuality. We also began identifying vocabulary words for our class "word well." Students are responsible to know this list of vocabulary on the board and will be quizzed on them when the well is full.
