Week at a glance September 30 - October 4, 2013

This week we will make our first moves toward wrapping up our unit over Arthur Miller's The Crucible.  First we'll complete the Act IV study guide.  Our next step will be to study for the unit exam by creating an essay comparing/contrasting The Crucible with another potential witch hunt in history.  Students will need to have a completed written draft to earn their way onto a computer on Thursday.  We will wrap up the week with a work day over the 1st Quarter Independent Book Project.

Since we are completing both The Crucible unit and the 1st Quarter IBP, we will not be completing a Close Read or Active Read this week.
  • Mon: The Crucible - review the end of Act IV.  Act IV study guide due by the end of the hour.
  • Tues: The Crucible Essay - assignment and expectations.  Select a topic and article to use in the essay.
  • Wed: The Crucible Essay - complete a written rough draft of the essay, due at the beginning of the hour on Thursday.
  • Thurs: Meet in the computer lab to type The Crucible Essay.  We will return to the computer lab on Monday.
  • Fri: 1st Quarter Independent Book Project work day.
1st Quarter Independent Book Project
Typed report due to turnitin.com by 11:59pm on Wednesday, Oct 9
