Monday: Because we completed Act II Friday, we watched Act II today after reading articles relevant to the culture and issues thematically portrayed in The Crucible. We also spent time identifying theme-relevant and character rhetoric quotes in Act II and tracking those on this organizer. (It's the same one as before; it''s just here in case SOME of us MISPLACED it.)
Tuesday and Wednesday: In lab 3063, we will compose persuasive letters. Each student's letter will create and craft an argument relevant to something they read in the article and the play. We will discuss ideas for this in class, but some examples are listed below the letter requirements:
Letter requirements:
- A strong persuasive stance supported by a LABELED thesis, ethos paragraph, logos paragraph, and pathos paragraph
- At least one CITED quote from the play
- At least one CITED quote from the article
- Works Cited section with BOTH sources listed <-- Google Docs has an EasyBib add-on that makes this SUPER easy to do
- At least five vocabulary words
- A picture of the COMPLETED vocabulary study sheet
Thursday & Friday: Read, watch, analyze, repeat :)
