Writing a claim for your Crucible paper
This is the format we've repeatedly discussed in class to complete this assignment. We WILL review your claims in class on Monday.
After studying The Crucible, the Puritans and related material, the MOST important thing to know is: ________A_________. Knowing this, we come to realize: _______B________.
Complete both blanks with a few sentences. (A) should be specific to the text(s) we have read. B should be more generally about the American experience. It's important that A and B be different.
After completing this part, you should then explain W.I.T.T (why is this true?) in several separate sentences. These will be your supporting reasons. If you struggle to write these, it's likely that your claim (A+B) isn't specific enough or is too superficial and vague.
