i thought your were going to do something productive today?

I did - I changed the strings on my guitar and caught up on sleep

I'm doing The Crucible right now with my 11th graders!

daronow cool! I'm at the end of Act II. This is my first time through it w/ 10th graders. I think they're slowly coming along to it.

anything special you like doing with it?

Act I- I have them write interview questions for the characters, then they have to answer others' questions as the character would answer.

I'm going to have them record it like real interviews this year. I have them do a mind map (online) to show characters' relationships

cool! let me know how that goes - sounds like a great idea

I'm also trying to get a Crucible wiki going, but our student access to computers is pretty limited..ugh!!

what would you have your students do on the wiki? I feel your pain w/ the comps - we have them, but they rarely work.
