Week at a glance September 24 - 28, 2012

Root Words Mid-term on Friday - We are doing 60 root words this semester; so far we have done half of them. Rather than waiting until near the end of the semester and doing a final over all 60, we will be doing a mid-term over the first 30 roots this Friday. Students will receive a study guide and practice self-test for the mid-term on Monday. We'll also do an in-class review on Thursday.

This week we continue reading Arthur Miller's The Crucible.  Last week we saw no one was safe as we saw even Rebecca Nurse and Elizabeth Proctor accused of witchcraft.  John Proctor responded by deciding to come clean, go to the court, admit his sins, and confront Abigail.  This week we'll see the results of Proctor's decision.  Students should be paying special attention to the play's rising action, coming climax, and their effects on the characters.
