Monday, June 9 review of Act III, the courtroom scene



In class: watching Act III
Friday's assessment was a disaster for many. I am counting the correct responses as a bonus. If you were absent, there is no make-up, as I gave out all the correct responses.

The week ahead: Tuesday; reading Act IV as a class
Wednesday: watching the closing scene and a review of the play.
Thursday and Friday: final assessment. As written previously, there will be quotes to identify, as to who is speaking to whom and the significance of the words in the context of the play. As well, I will incorporate questions from last Friday's quiz and there will be an extended response to one of the following questions:
1. What role do grudges and personal rivalries play in the witch trial hysteria.
2. How do the witch trials empower individuals who were previously powerless?
3.What role does sex, and sexual repression, play in The Crucible?
4. Why are Danforth, Hathorne, and the other authorities so resistant to believing the claim that Abigail and the other girls are lying?
You will need to use specific, detailed information to support your response.

 Do not forget your text, as you will be able to use it as a reference.
