Act II reading quiz. See Mrs. Evans if you were absent to complete the make-up quiz.
Discuss emerging themes. Begin thematic essays (assigned, due Tuesday, November 18).
Update character notes. Be sure to include the minor characters such as Cheever and Herrick.
Read pp. 83-99 in class/finish for HW.
Persuasive letter HW assigned as well:
Write a PERSUASIVE letter from John Proctor to Abigail begging her to stop the accusations/trial. You must both “convince” Abigail she should stop AND suggest an alternate solution to the trials/Abigail’s desires. Be creative. Stay true to the book—for instance, your solution cannot be that John Proctor decides to “hook up” with Abigail again.
-You can (and should) use your book for information or inspiration.
-Use traditional opening and closing statements (Dear…). -You should have more than one main point.
-Your letter ought to be close to one full page in length (yes, it is okay to go a little longer).
-Have fun with this assignment, but stay appropriate in your topics and word choice.
