Short answer: We did a lot. You know how I am. You missed tons. Okay, so maybe you missed D.O.L., The Crucible journal {see a friend for this info} and a Gallery Walk. I know, not exactly tons, but it was jam packed and fun-filled.
Uh-Oh--- did she say Gallery Walk?
What's a Gallery Walk?
Well, a Gallery Walk is meant to promote reflection, interaction and written/oral language development. In other words, we used the Gallery Walk activity to reflect on different aspects of The Crucible. There were eight posters in the room and since you were absent I need you to answer each of the following questions or comment on the statements. This is due the following day. Example: absent on Thursday, due on Monday.
The Gallery Walk Topics were:
1. Point out the reasons why Abigail was in the woods and speculate why she sought Tituba's help.
Example answer: Abigail was in the woods with Tituba and the other girls to make a charm that
would kill Goody Proctor so that she could have John {G. Proctor's husband} to herself. Abigail
sought out Tituba's help since she was from Barbados and a slave"familiar" with the ways of
witchcraft.
2. Discuss the symbolism of the woods in The Crucible and the mod it evokes. Create a short list of
symbols and mood adjectives.
3. Miller's play, The Crucible is a commentary on Mccarthyism. Why does Miller use the Salem witch
trials to draw comparisons?
4. What is a "crucible"? Describe its significance in the play.
5. Mass hysteria is how we leave Act I in The Crucible. Predict what will happen in Act II.
6. One of the themes in The Crucible is good vs. evil. using your theme handout write a complete
sentence/thought for this theme {remember, Giraffes Can't Dance!}
7. If John Proctor were alive today {same circumstances as in the play} what would his Facebook status
be at the end of Act I?
8. Is the narrator reliable {trustworthy} in the play The Crucible? Why or why not?
