The Crucible, The Red Scare and Other Witch Trials

With your class in your blogs discuss the following questions:
1. What was Miller's point in writing The Crucible?
2. How are McCarthyism, the Red Scare, Arthur Miller and The Crucible interrelated?
3. Document other times in American history when 'witch hunts' were conducted and discuss the outcomes of the Salem witch hunt and the other witch hunts you find. What do they all have in common?

Find documents, web sites, blogs, etc. that provide information on this topic and blog about what those artifacts contain. Provide links in your blog space so that the other members of the class can read and learn from them.

After all research, processing and discussion have been completed, please write an essay (in your blog) that presents what you have learned in relation to the questions/problems stated at the beginning of this blog.

To get you started, spend awhile watching this PowerPoint and reading the websites linked to it.

Teachers As Advisors

Now that we have had a few TAA meetings, what do you think about it? Did you know why the program was implemented? What are your opinions about its use in RHS?
