03 The Crucible
Hi Everyone!
This week for homework, I'd like you to read the entirety of the Crucible play by Arthur Miller. Based on the audio-book, it should take around 2 hours to read—more or less depending on your reading speed.
Then, write at least 5 discussion questions having to do with the play. Remember that discussion questions should be questions that create discussion—that could have multiple different answers to them.
I don't want to see comprehension questions like: What does Johnny talk to Jenny about in the 3rd chapter? or How old is Johnny? or What type of car does Johnny have?
Instead, I want to see deeper questions that question the motivation of the characters or of the author, or questions about the quality of the writing. If you're struggling with ideas, think of asking questions related to your pre-test that we took in class which I'll post at the bottom of this post. For example, Do you think Johnny is a round or flat character? Why do you say so? or What do you think the theme is so far?
You don't have to answer your questions on paper, just ask them :)
Keep in mind, you have to get the book yourself, so check out book-selling websites like Amazon.com (you can find books there for a dollar or two—but you may want to go there for other books, as you'll need this one soon and shipping can take a while), bookstores, or sometimes you can find the book free online.
One last thing: be sure to have the homework done on time; otherwise, you will have nothing to talk about next week and you'll be totally lost, which is no fun for anyone.
