WE ARE SHIFTING FROM MILLER'S TREATMENT OF THE PURITANS to the Puritans themselves. Who is William Bradford, and how does his writing establish our American literary tradition?

MONDAY

Returning to "None Without Sin," exploring why Kazan's second testimony before HUAC leads Miller to write The Crucible.
Finish your annotations in The Crucible.

TUESDAY

In the Library to review novel selection for junior theme. Remember that your chosen novel must be by an American author, must be new to you, and must be satisfactorily complex to support a thematic, argumentative research paper.
Revisit your annotations in The Crucible for one last time. I will collect your books tomorrow. Your three titles/authors must be posted one week from today.

WEDNESDAY

Reviewing grades for quarter one, and how to use google sheets and our research groups.
HW: No homework tonight. Go Cubs!

THURSDAY

Quick reading quiz on last night's reading. We will begin work on an Act 1 crossword, and then shifting to our documentary on the play.
HW: Finish watching "None Without Sin," and complete your notes. Due tomorrow.

FRIDAY

Watching part two of "The Pilgrims" in class, taking notes on "Of Plimoth Plantation."
HW: Ten years after Bradford arrives in the new world, John Winthrop writes and delivers, upon leaving England, a sermon at the start of his journey to what would become America. This weekend, you're reading John Winthrop's "On Christian Charity." Start with the abridged selection, and answer the questions in our reading packet. Then, read the entire sermon, which follows the abridged selection.
