2. Today you had part of class to read the appendix of The Crucible and respond to why this act is often left out of stage productions.
3. We had a class discussion about reputation and whether or not public shaming is an effective method of punishment for law-breakers.
4. We began the film adaptation of the play.
5. Your literary analysis of the play will be due next week (probably Wed/Thur). You may either use one of my suggestions or choose your own (run it by me first). Your essay must be 5-7 paragarphs, contain a strong thesis, use a minimum of 5 quotes from the play to back up your argument, and contain no mechanical errors. Some suggested topics:

- Compare the role sof Elizabeth and Abigail. How do their roles affect and illuminate major themes in The Crucible?
- Discuss the changes Reverand Hale goes through over the course of the play.
- Which three characters are most reponsible for the Salem witch trials?
- Analyze The Crucible as a political allegory for McCarthyism.
- Your choice...
