If you have a legal absence, that is someone has called in for you, you may finish the text on Monday. Otherwise, you will be assessed on your completed work.
Grades close Friday, with the exception of those who are taking or
retaking the Regents on June 19.
7th period:
Clarissa and BJ must make up their tests on Monday by 4 pm. This will take two periods.
8th period: the trial!
What's on the assessment?
Five questions from last Friday's test.
Four quotations to identify as to who is speaking to whom and why this is
significant in terms of understanding the character, plot, tone and / or
theme.
Essay response to one of the following. Don't forget your text.
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.
At this point, the following should be quite familiar:
allegory

Reverend John Hale
Francis Nurse
Judge Danforth
Setting: 1692, Salem, Massachusetts
Themes: Intolerance, reputation, empowerment
Practice quote sample:
"No more! I should have roared you down when first you told me your suspicion. But I wilted, and, like a Christian, I confessed. Confessed! Some dream I had must have mistaken you for God that day. But you're not, you're not, and let you remember it! Let you look sometimes for the goodness in me, and judge me not."
