BELLWORK (no A-day bellwork due to assembly schedule): write a Writer's Notebook response to this prompt--How would you feel if you came home and your house had burned in a fire? What would you miss most?
READ PURITAN POEM by Anne Bradstreet (textbook pp. 69-70): refer to the yellow "Character Traits" handout you should have in your binder. Based on your reading of this poem, make a list of character traits Bradstreet seems to have.
ASSIGNMENT--NOTES (on binder paper): I showed a PowerPoint presentation called "Puritan Characteristics." Students took notes. If you missed class, do some research on the internet about Puritans. Make notes about their religion, Calvinism, their domestic life, their work and industry, how they disciplined their children, etc.
EXTERNAL TEXT FEATURES: look at The Crucible in our textbook, pages 825-887. On the other side of your binder paper notes about Puritans, list at least 5 external text features before we start reading the play. Examples: picture of a dirty man and woman, bold font to highlight the character names in the dialogue of the play, captions, graphic boxes with information about the setting, etc.
TURN IN the binder paper notes and list (5 points).
THE CRUCIBLE: we viewed the first 8 minutes of the play on DVD and then listened to an audio of the first few pages of Act 1. If you missed class, you can check out a copy of The Crucible from the Writing Lab and read the first three pages of Act 1.
