Week at a glance August 26 - 30, 2013

This week we will begin reading, discussing, and analyzing Arthur Miller's The Crucible.  To help us understand the perspective of the Salem villagers, we'll start the week with a discussion of a famous sermon of the time, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" (an unabridged copy of the sermon is posted to the right under the Recommended Links section).  We'll then get into the actual reading.  Since The Crucible is a play, we'll look for volunteers to read the parts so that we can hopefully hear the play with voice.  We'll wrap up the week with a bit of class time to wrap up this week's Close Read and time to complete the IRP active reading assignment.
