General Guidelines

My expectations are that you write with precision and depth of analysis.  I also require that you adhere to standard guidelines for written English, including citing your sources using MLA format.  Please review the following notes, and keep them in mind as you write your entries.

1. Citation:  When you cite your quotes, remember to do the following:
1. Always include the page number when your source is a novel, the line number if it is a poem, and the act/scene/line number if it is a play.  You must include the author and title of the piece within your discussion.
2. Put quotation marks around the entire quote, but not around the citation, and put the period outside of the citation.
3. Always imbed your quotes within your function discussion, making sure that the sentence into which you integrated your quote is grammatically correct.
4. Only use ellipses (…) when omitting words from the middle of a quote, not at the beginning or the end of a quote.
2. Function Discussion:  Remember to keep the “Three Cs”—Context, Concept, Connection—in mind when you write your function discussion.  Submissions that do not discuss each of these areas will not receive full credit.
3. Using Text from the Quote:  Whenever possible, remember to use text from your example in your function discussion.

 

I want to once again stress exactly how significant this assignment is to your grade.  It is, in some ways, the heart of our study of style analysis.  Remember that in college, it is precisely these types of long-term assignments that put the responsibility on you and that will comprise much of your coursework.

NOTE: Due to Benchmark test, the English 3 Literary terms quiz has been moved to Friday.

Benchmark Test

Crucible Related Readings: See Google Classroom for links to articles.

 

On Thursday, during class, you will be selecting two other articles from a different "focus" set (i.e. you first selected "The Persecution of Muslims in America"--now you will select from an article from either one or both of the other categories,  "The Persecution of Women in India" and/or "The Persecution of Women and Children in Africa." Whatever you don't complete in class will be due at 11:59 on Google Classroom. 

Crucible-related Readings

Objective: In times of instability and uncertainty in the world, certain groups – due to religion, gender, or age – become systematic victims of persecution and oppression. Each of the articles you will read today is about the practice of “witch” hunting in today’s world. As you read, you will research these modern-day practices and relate them to two important themes in The Crucible: fear and greed. Questions you will explore in depth: How do fear and greed motivate modern-day witch hunts? How do they motivate the witch hunt of The Crucible? What are the differences and similarities between the fears and desires of each? For example, how does Anne Putnam’s fear of child mortality compare with the fear of crop failure in Africa?

Directions: Read four articles, and take notes on each. NOTE: You should read two articles from one set - I, II, or III - this will be your focus set. Your notes should contain the following eight pieces of information: 1. title of article, 2. author of article, 3. date of article, 4. name of periodical, 5. main point (thesis) of article, 6. intended audience of article, 7. all the causes for persecution mentioned in the article (for example, fear of disease, poverty, desire for profit or land), and 8. one fact from the article you found interesting. Then, carefully re-read the set of articles (I, II, or III) you chose to focus on, and write one paragraph (at least ½ of a page) comparing that modern-day witch hunt to the witch hunt of The Crucible. Pay particular attention to the role of fear and greed in both. Copy and paste address in your server.

Due: The Crucible Act Four Interpreting Meanings questions (don't forget to address the question: 

 Why is The Crucible an example of an allegory?)
