The Crucible Projects worth 150 points

The Crucible Projects worth 150 points


Due: September 29 (Please remember the English Department’s nasty little late work policy.)

Choose one:

1. Memorize and act out three full columns of dialogue from the play. You may have no more than three students in your group. Each person should have about the same number of lines. Time should be spent practicing together, finding simple costumes and props, and planning for a smooth and artful performance. Each person needs to be loud enough and lively enough to be heard and understood by the class. The selection of the passage should show key elements of the play. Performance is due September 29.

2. Write a two page biographical research paper on Arthur Miller, using three credible sources. Use Times New Roman, 14 font, and print only on one side of the paper. You must use MLA for your in-text citations as well as a works cited page.

3. Write a sequel to the play. Follow up on one or several surviving characters from the play. Be sure that your story follows logically and plausibly. It needs to be in the form of a play. It should be typed and at least four pages in length, doubled spaced, no bigger than 14 font. You SHOULD sound like Arthur Miller. Your characters SHOULD sound like themselves.

4. If you are currently registered for an art class at Bountiful High, you may be eligible for this option. Plan on spending four hours on this art project. You and I will have to conference about it in great detail, prior to my approving it. Your design must be original. Mrs. Magee or Mrs. Sides will be helping me grade your work. See me today if you are interested in this option.

5. Write a three-page research paper about the real Salem Witch Trials, using three credible sources. Use Times New Roman font 14, and print only on one side of the paper. You must use MLA for your in-text citations and have a works cited page. You may do a compare/contrast with The Crucible and the real story, if you wish.

Summer Reading Assignment

Dear Future Junior Honors English Students:


As the school year is coming to a close, it is almost time to start thinking about summer. Picture yourself in the backyard hammock. The birds are singing. You are sipping a lemonade, and you are reading a great book. My hope for you is that you have already selected a few good books that are on your personal line-up, waiting on your night stand, ready to offer you a vicarious adventure.

By way of assignment, I would like to offer you the opportunity to read a really good book. It is not long, but it will keep your newly acquired analysis skills sharp. Please read The Chosen by Chaim Potok, and do the following activities:

1. Make a vocabulary list of at least twenty words from the book. Include definitions. Choose words that you think will provide a bit of a challenge to you and other classmates. Then create a brief vocabulary quiz, using all the words from your list.

2. For each chapter, select two lines that you think are particularly meaningful. They may speak to character development or offer other insight about the story. Briefly tell why you think each line is significant.

3. Type a one half page journal response to the book when you have finished it. You may include what you believe to be the theme of the book, your response to passages that were particularly powerful to you, and any possible personal connections you had with any of the characters or the events of the story. Please double space, and use 14 font, Times New Roman.

Please avoid any Sparknotes-type website. I would not want to rob you of your own experience with the text. This is very important. If you are unsure about plot, or you have questions about characters, you may discuss the matter with another student or family member, but do not go to the web.

I look forward to having a wonderful year next year. I’ve already heard good things about you—collectively, that is, and I am anxious to meet you. Make it a great summer!

　

　

Sincerely,

　

Mrs. Loveless
