American Lit Day 2

After our quiz today, we resumed our highlight package of American Lit.

The previous blog has links to some of our texts, so you may want to check there or just google to find more info.

1: We read Bradstreet's "Burning of our House" and "To My Dear and Loving Husband," looked at the Salem Witch Trials, talked about the Red Scare, McCarthyism, the HUAC, the Hollywood 10, and all of those figures (if you haven't studied this time in history, you may want to read some history websites).

3 & 5: We have made it through all of first hour's agenda plus looked at Arthur Miller, his main plays, and his marriages. If you don't know much about Miller, you may want to check out a brief article about his works and life prior to next class.

All hours will be acting out The Crucible tomorrow, so I hope you are ready to be Puritans!
