The Crucible by Arthur Miller
Lesson Plans by Rebecca Ray
The Crucible is a play with many allegorical references. Written during the 1950s but set in the 1600s, Arthur Miller used the Salem witch trials in Massachusetts to represent the figurative witch hunt for communists in the United States,commonly known as the 'Red Scare'. Using actual court manuscripts and primary documents, Miller brings to life the people of Salem, and the atrocities the occurred there, in this heart-wrenching play.
Spider Map Graphic Organizer
by Natasha Lupiani
A spider map is a tool that provides a visual framework for students to use. Sometimes called a concept map, a spider map has a main idea or topic in the center, or the body, of the diagram. Each detail or sub-topic associated with the main idea has its own leg, or branch, surrounding the main idea.
