The Crucible, Act IV

Good Morning!

*Please read your independent reading book until we are ready to begin.

*The Crucible, Act IV -- You have been thinking about a character that you will write about.  This assignment will be given after we watch the movie so you will have a much better idea of the characters.  I feel that the movie will inspire a lot of thinking about the events and characters in this play. TODAY we finish reading the play!

*Act IV questions -- you will complete these on your own.  You should be able to answer these questions correctly.
