Introduction
Before we begin reading The Crucible, we need to learn a little background information about the author, his time period, the Salem Witch Trials, and the Puritans. To do this, you will access different online articles and videos on this website, and then use the information you learned to complete the questions on the handout Mrs. Clarke gave you.
To begin learning about the first topic, the author of the play named Arthur Miller, click on the "Task" button at the bottom or the top of this page.

It turns out that you can't watch this video on the chrome books. You can watch it on your phones, though. So, you can either look up the video on your phone by going to youtube and searching "Allegory and McCarthyism in the Crucible", or just go to this website at home and watch it then. Sorry this is such a pain.
