The Crucible

This week we are viewing The Crucible in class.  There is a viewing guide that is to be filled out as you watch.  Once this is finished we will read another play, 12 Angry Pigs, and then turn a fable into a script.  Lots to do in the next two weeks, but plenty of time to do it.

If you are absent, please make sure to get with me to see what you need to do.
