Week at a glance September 23 - 27, 2013

When we last visited 1692 Salem, we were looking for hope that the truth would be discovered and the Witch Trials would end.  Sadly, that was not quite the case.  Act IV begins a few weeks later with Salem in chaos and depression.  Although we noted that the climax occurred in Act III, Act IV builds toward its own intense climax that will be the first critical crack in the foundation of the Witch Trials.  We'll also continue with another Close read and another Active Read for the week.
