Update Sept. 26

Bellwrite: What is motivating Danforth? What is motivating Parris? What does Hale want?

Students continued to present on logical fallacies. The following students presented on the corresponding logical fallacies:

Jennis--Composition/Division
Luke--Middle Ground
Sam--Anecdotal
Yoojin--Tu Quoque

Next, students worked in groups of three to draw out a sequence chart for "steps in stirring up a witch-hunt." They were encouraged to generalize their steps, so that they would apply to most situations and not just be about The Crucible.

Homework: Find two examples of how, in modern days, a witch-hunt may be conducted in the name of rooting out discrimination/intolerance.
