Did you know that Heather Shippit is doing her Masters in Theatre, and one of the plays that she is writing on is The Crucible? She will be in class tomorrow talking about the paper she is doing, and how the themes relate to today's headlines in the newspaper. Don't miss class!
Your essays will be due Monday because of this shift in plans.
Thank Ms. Shippit!

English 12 is finished watching and reading The Crucible. The assignments include two essays on the themes and characters and a creative project, which is students' choice.

Next week, we will begin our novel study and more Provincial exam practice--the synthesis essay! Sound like fun? There's nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so, as Hamlet so aptly puts it.

Don't forget the test tomorrow!

English 12 is marching on. We are continuing to do our Provincial Exam practices as we read The Crucible, by Arthur Miller. Witch hunts are not just peculiar to Medieval Europe and Puritan New England. We will discover how they continue to this day.

We will be watching the movie next week, and then on to your essays and projects regarding the theme of standing up for your beliefs. Integrity is a word that you will come across more and more as you sail through your lives and are met the turbulent tempests that can upset even the strongest craft, you being the craft, of course.
