Finding an outside article/reading

• Now that you have previewed and/or read the extra readings that are paired with The Crucible, you have to research and reflect on your own. Search the internet for articles that you feel are relevant to the themes of the Crucible. These themes include, joining the accuser(s), standing up for what you believe in (what is morally right), and giving up your own morals to save your own life (joining others).
• After you have read the story/article. Print and bring on Thursday 4/26.

White, Black, and Shades of Gray

As we continue to study The Crucible by Arthur Miller, we focus more and more on the ideas/themes of accuser vs the accused and also abandoning our own morals. Questions arise when we look at what is good and bad, and everything in-between. Using Photoshop, create your own moral scale evaluating your own morals and what you consider to be white, black and everything in-between.

• Two gives and two gets by Friday 4/13.
