Homework Due Monday
Bring printout (paper copy) of your homework to class or email before Monday.
What to do :
1) Take notes on the Crucible (pg. 166-170). Demonstrate your reading comprehension. It is often helpful to think of a story as episodic, or not just being one big story but having related parts or episodes.
Some helpful questions to consider when you are taking notes.
Setting: Where did the episode happen?
When did the episode happen?
Characters: Who was the episode about?
Who were the people in the episode?
Who was the most important person in the episode?
Problem: Did the people have a problem?
What was the big problem that episode was about?
Action: What did the people do to solve the problem?
What were the important things that happened in the episode?
Resolution: How did the people solve the problem?
How did the episode end?
Theme: What lesson could we learn from the episode?
What tied the episode together?
Was there an overarching message?
2) Create a personal vocabulary list and write definitions for them. Attach the vocabulary list as a separate section to the end of your notes.
