Eeek! You have a test on The Crucible and a short response-- that you must answer in CQT format? Man, your teacher's mean. Oh wait--that's me. Yes, you must answer one of the four prompts for your Crucible exam and describe how it relates to The Crucible. The prompts are: 1. Confessing to a crime you didn't commit in order to avoid punishment is wise.
2 It is better to die for what you believe in rather than to lie to save your life.
3. That which doesn't destroy us only makes us stronger.
4. Courage means doing something even though it can be difficult and fearsome.
First, choose your prompt. Which one do you think you can write about comfortably? Next, think about which character or characters are directly related to that prompt. Additionally, find the part in the play where your character displays this particular characteristic/trait or belief. For example, if you choose #4 both John and Rebecca fit this prompt, but you might have more to say about John than Rebecca. Also, use your CQT graphic organizer to put your thoughts on paper. Lastly, write or type it out (if your fancy) in proper MLA format on a separate paper so it looks like a 'regular' paragraph and not like a fill in the blank organizer.
Unsure of what your finished CQT should look like? Well, click here: Crucible SAMPLE CQT short response paragraph. Obviously, this is an example, but it should help you to see a finished product.
Hopefully this will help you figure out the silly CQT part of the exam that is only worth twenty-three points. Now, you just have worry about the other seventy-seven questions.
