Pre-reading Discussion for the Crucible (Thursday's class)

Today we checked out The Crucible and then did an prereading activity where we discussed the best course of action in a difficult scenario.

I also briefly explained the political context for Miller's writing of the play, but this video link seems to be an excellent introduction to the play.

I shared the homework for the break (see my post below).  Happy Reading!

The last few minutes were spent introducing the Toulmin Model of Argumentation.  This will help you analyze arguments and build your own.  We will practice using it when we return from break!
