Readers Theater

Today - you will have a few minutes to look over your Readers Theater, then we will present these to class.

After we're finished I want you to write a 1-page paragraph discussing what you believe the meaning of "The Crucible" to be.  Who is the main character and what does the crucible say about the society of the Puritans.

Tomorrow, you will read "From the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin" and answer question 1-4, and 6.

Friday, you need to work on the personal narrative you started.  This will count as your 2nd draft.  Most of you have at least grammar concerns to address.
