Crucible Powerpoint
Monday: Complete bio introductions; read, analyze, and compose your own "Curriculum Vitae" poem
Tuesday: Begin hunting witches (and using research and textual evidence to create an argument) by reading "17 Signs You'd Qualify as a Witch in 1692", annotating for interesting advanced punctuation usage, and completing a cited accusation of one of our Puritan Salemites.
Wednesday: The accused decide whether or not to confess, then defend themselves, and we villagers vote on who among us is the real witch. Discuss rhetoric, then listen to, read along with, and analyze rhetoric in the 1692 sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God". Find another witch - this time, include quotes from BOTH the article AND the sermon.
Thursday: Accused, defend yourselves, and we will again vote. After completing the rhetoric analysis of "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God", we will journal about our thoughts thus far then begin readers' theater of The Crucible.
Friday (& next Monday): We should start building our blogs today (unless we are bumped from the lab again). Blog requirements:
1) Choose a template and personalize it to meet your style
2) Publish it, then put the link to your published site on the Google Doc links below

3) Complete blog post 1: What do you bring to this course that will benefit our goals? What do you expect form the class? What do you think so far? What are you looking forward to or worried about?
4) Complete blog post 2: Revise your "Curriculum Vitae" poem. Make it beautiful (or snarky) by including poetic devices such as metaphor, simile, onomatopoeia, symbolism, etc. Include AT LEAST one or one set of each of the following: parentheses (()), colons (:), semicolons (;), and dashes or hyphens (-).
5) Visit this Quizlet and get familiar with some Crucible-context vocabulary terms.
