There is a lot of historical and contextual information to cover in order to help us better understand the play we are going to read, The Crucible. Therefore you will be divided up into groups to become experts on some of the historical and contextual elements that influenced the play. Then you will teach the rest of the class what you learned--this way we can cover more material in less time.

Step 1: Read the information assigned to your group (If there is more than one text for your assigned group, not every student needs to read every text. Split up the work amongst your group. Some students may read the same texts.)

Group 1: The Parris Household

Reverend Samuel Parris

Betty Parris

Tituba

More on Parris

Group 2: Reverend Hale & the Puritan Religion

Reverend John Hale of Beverly

More on Reverend Hale

Puritan Religion (Overture Part 1 & 2)

Group 3*: Proctor & Putnam

Create a T-chart comparing the characters

Group 4: Salem History

History of the Salem Witch Trials

A Brief History of the Salem Witch Trials

Group 5: Options of the Accused

What Options Did an Accused Witch Have in Salem

Group 6: “Why I Wrote the Crucible”

Why I Wrote “The Crucible”

Step 2: Create an anchor chart that summarizes the important information from your readings

This anchor chart needs to be:

Neat

Colorful

Easy to read

Clearly organized

The anchor chart should include

The key points from the readings that would help others understand the concepts without reading the text themselves

*Remember if you are in the Proctor/Putnam group your anchor chart will need to include a T-Chart to compare the characters

Step 3: Teach the class about your topic using your anchor chart
