Resources for Reading The Crucible

Although we will read Arthur Miller's play, The Crucible, reading this time will no doubt be different, as you will not have a physical text. Here are pointers and resources to help us get through it: 

1. Read. Even when Ms. Guy or other students read, or we listen, please make sure to read along with the text. 

2. Re-read. That is right. Re-read for homework. 

3. Listen. Here is a link to an audio version of the text: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v57nVxOMhsM it allows us to both see and hear the text as it is being read. 

4. Annotate. Download important sections and use Kami or HYPOTHESIS to annotate the text. 

5. Answer comprehension questions & participate in class discussions in chat. This helps reenforce learning. 

6. Keep character logs & pay attention to dialogue.
