Good Morning/Afternoon Step 1: Please grab your notebook and your copy of the Crucible. Step 2: Please open your notebook to a new page or where you left off of from yesterday, date it, and label it Journal Please go back to the character you chose to take on from a couple weeks ago. Write a new journal entry from their perspective about how things have changed since your last entry. Explain in detail how their life might be forever different after what has happened. Then talk about what your character’s plans are from that point? Example Abigail might plan to run days until next outside reading project is due! By the end of the week come tell Ms. B your outside reading book choice. Remember non-fiction to fiction and reading level.

Hook: Next, you need to explain to your readers how it relates to your argument/claim. Your explanation does not have to be limited to one sentence. Write your explanation below.
