Week at a glance September 16 - 20, 2013

We'll start this week with a quick review over Acts I and II of Arthur Miller's The Crucible.  After turning in the Act II study guide at the beginning of the hour on Tuesday, we'll move on to reading and discussing Act III.  Our Close Read for the week will be over two Puritan poems of the time period.  If students have been paying attention to our discussion over Puritan culture and values, the poems should have more than a few oddities within them.  We will have a Socratic Seminar over the two poems in class on Thursday.
