Honors Contemporary Comp. period 2

 Good Morning Class! As promised, I am in a training for our local district! This means we will PHYSICALLY miss seeing each other for instruction, but you are still responsible for the following: 

Honors Contemporary Composition 

  1. Log in to the Google Form for Attendance

  2. Carefully Read or Read The Crucible, Act 1 Scene 1. You may read and listen at the same time by clicking here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v57nVxOMhsM

  3. Create Three Character Bio-Poems based on YOUR understanding of the play so far.  Do one character bio-poem for each of the following: Tituba; Revered Parris, Abigail. 

Do not use or consult any other sources or copy examples from online. Any such dishonesty will result in a zero on the assignment and parent/counselor contact. 

You may handwrite or type all three on the same page if you are able to format them correctly. 

You may use the rest of your time to review or correctly finish your Somebody Wanted But Sos.

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.
