__ Procedure __
 * Introduction: ** I begin by reminding them to turn in their //The Crucible// Act IV Creative Writing Assignments.
 * Guided Practice: ** I will ask them to take out their English III book and turn to page to begin reading Act IV of //The Crucible//. I will ask for volunteers from the class to read one of the characters roles in Act IV no one volunteers, assign character roles from the role sheet or give 5 extra credit points for those who read. Make sure to assign somebody to the narrator or stage directions, unless you are prepared to read them yourself. Plan to complete Act IV by the end of the 50 minute class. If they do not complete it, tell them that they must do so over the weekend to prepare for Monday’s quiz.
 * Conclusion: ** If there are a few minutes left over, hold a short discussion. What do we think of the ending? Did John Proctor do the right thing?

Assessment: //The Crucible// Act IV Creative Writing Assignment will be graded to determine the students’ creativity and active participation in the story.
