FRIDAY IN CLASS
There was a sub for the sub . . . hopefully for the last time!  But your work was self-sustaining:  to begin reading The Crucible and to respond to 11 questions on the Overture and Act One up through the point where Betty collapses.

Here is a complete copy of the hand-out for Friday, including PowerPoint links, general procedure for this unit, and the specific questions to work on in class and as homework: Getting Started with The Crucible

HOMEWORK FOR MONDAY
To finish the 11 questions from the class hand-out.  Most people got 6 or 7 done in class, but whatever the balance was, the questions were due on Monday.

TODAY IN CLASS
Responses were stamped for completion; incomplete work was stamped at the point of completion. People can finish tonight for partial credit--and a better chance at understanding and doing well with the play.  Doing your work now can definitely help moving forward.

We began discussing the questions--again, students are encouraged to add/modify (even correct!) your responses for better understanding.  We'll finish that tomorrow, and tomorrow I will collect them.

HOMEWORK FOR TOMORROW
It is  "catch-up" day.  Finish the questions, reread if you know you were somewhat lost with whta you answered, know that it is you'd like to ask about tomorrow before we move on.
