Week at a glance September 9 - 13, 2013

This week we will continue reading and discussing Arthur Miller's The Crucible.  The climax of Act I showed the accusations beginning in the infamous Salem Witch Trials.  Act II begins much quieter at the home of John and Elizabeth Proctor, but will end with a major turning point in the play.  We will also finally return to the computer lab to wrap up final revisions and turn in a final draft of the Personal Narrative Essay.  Students who have not turned in a rough draft will not have any opportunity for feedback prior to a final draft.  The final draft must be turned in to our class site at turnitin.com.  We'll wrap up the week with a discussion over Close Read 4 and another active reading assignment.
