The first half of today's class was spent writing a test on Macbeth.
During the second half of class, we went over the questions from the witch documentary that students watched a while ago; the documentary provides some background for our next unit, The Crucible. After that, I went through a Powerpoint and discussed some background information on Arthur Miller, Puritan beliefs, The McCarthy trials, and the Salem witch trials. We then watched 20 minutes of "In Search of History - The Salem Witch Trials". After that, students had time to work on their grammar booklets.
