Today I distributed the instructions for WE #33-40, which will be due on October 29th. You can find the handout here.
Today we began reading Act I of The Crucible (pages 1037-1039 of your textbook). If you missed it, access the textbook online and read it on your own.
We took notes, which should include the following.
Setting
Stage directions
Characterization of Tituba and Abigail
Literary/Rhetorical devices: Alliteration, euphemism, hyperbole
Ellipsis (omission of words when quoting as long as what remains is grammatically sound)
Integrated Quoting (paraphrase mixed with partial direct quotes and with some analysis)
Examples:
--Tituba can't "bear to be barred from...her beloved," but her "slave sense" tells her that she will be whipped if she goes near Betty.
--In the stage directions, Miller describes Abigail as having an "endless capacity for dissembling," which she demonstrates in her dialogue with her uncle to whom she is clearly lying about what took place the night before.
The Aronson test will be Friday, October 24th. You will need to use the book for the test, so please bring the copy you checked out from me. If you don't bring it, I will lend you one for the test, but you will lose 20 points on the test.
