Contemporary Composition Period 1: The Finale of The Crucible.

Good Morning! I believe I have found a link for you to be able to finish viewing The Crucible and using your Note and Notice Protocol to note the following: Aha Moments (Epiphany); Tough Questions; Contrasts & Contradictions; Repetition (Again and Again).  Click here to view the film-- I had to find a free version so the quality is NOT the same.  I have hyperlinked the Note and Notice Signposts . Download it and make two copies and then you have multiple copies that you can submit.  View the remainder of the film, and you complete at least 6 more instances of contrasts and contradictions, aha moments, repetition (again and again); and tough questions.  What does the author/director want us to know or think thematically about each of these? If the link above does not work: try this one: https://youtu.be/FCR4blZtjvc

Agendas and Plans for Periods 1, 2, 4

Good Morning! For Period 1, I am still locating a link for The Crucible.  As all of my classes know, I had a plumbing failure and I began taking care of that yesterday.  I will be working today grading assignments submitted electronically. I will also post assignments for Week 1, and then alert you through Remind that they are posted.  I will also hold office hours for questions using Schoology Conference, Google Hangouts, or possibly Flipgrid.  At least three assignments will ask for you to talk with wither a parent or your school colleagues.  More details coming later! Be well. Ms. Guy
