LYRICS PRESENTATIONS
If you have not yet presented, you must ready any day the rest of the term. If I call on you and you're not ready, you'll receive a 0. If you still want to present for late points, there may or may not be time at the end of the term--no guarantees!
CRUCIBLE COMPARE/CONTRAST PAPER
I continue to be amazed at how often the tragedy of The Crucible replays itself out in other times and situations. In class, I showed the trailer to the recent movie The Stoning of Soraya M. The movie is based on a true story about a woman who was stoned by her village in 1990 in Iran for being an adulteress. However, her accusers only had a shred of evidence and based their accusations on lies--she was actually innocent. Once Saraya was accused, just like in The Crucible, the men in the village had a hysterical mob-like reaction and anxiously came together to stone her. Here is the link to the trailer. I don't recommend that you watch the entire movie because it's very gory and is rated R, and besides you can get a feel for the situation in the trailer.
For most of the class period, students continued working on their papers in the Writing Lab. Students printed at the end of the hour for participation points (10 points possible).
