The+Crucible+Discussion

This contains Salem Witch Trial resources and a discussion about the play //The Crucible// by Arthur Miller.




 * __Instructions__**
 * For one of the statements on //The Crucible// Anticipation/Reaction Guide, write a journal-like response with examples about why you hold one belief that you do.
 * Once you have proofread your 7-10 sentences, post your comment on our //The Crucible// Discussion message board here.
 * You will be expected to provide a thoughtful, respectful reply to at least 1 person’s post. You may reply to an additional 2 posts for extra credit, but extra credit points depend on both the quality and quantity of the response.
 * After reading the play, write another journal-like response, referring to a statement where your belief changed since reading the play. If none of your beliefs have changed, write about a different statement than you responded to before reading. Once again, post your comment on our discussion board and reply to at least 1 other post.


 * __Discussion Tips__**
 * Be sure to title your discussion thread with either the theme or the key words in the statement.
 * Offer the statement to which you are responding at the beginning of your post.
 * Include the identity of the author as well as your level of agreement in the beginning of your reply.
 * Type your discussion or reply in a word processing document and run spell check before posting.
 * Respect everyone's right to a difference of opinion, but use textual evidence or real-life examples to convince others of your opinion.
 * Remember that while you must be a member to post a discussion thread here, anyone can read the online discussion. Use discretion in your choice of words and personal situations to include. Thank you!
