  1. February 8th through 12th

  2. Monday, February 8th • Discuss information from research on Friday • How will we use this research? • Instructions for Compare/Contrast paper on McCarthyism and Witch Trials (due Friday) • Review Act III • Read Act IV

  3. Compare/Contrast Paper • Purpose • Discuss the similarities and differences between the hysteria over the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 and the McCarthyism of the mid 1900s. • Process • Use your notes that you took on Friday to get facts to write this paper.

  4. Introduction • Give context • 1st sentence: Discuss the concept of either mass hysteria or jumping on the bandwagon • 2nd and/or 3rd sentence: Discuss Arthur Miller’s reasons for writing The Crucible in one or two sentences. • Last sentence: Thesis statement • McCarthyism and the Salem witch trials parallel each other in __________, __________, and __________.

  5. Body paragraphs (at least 3) • 1st sentence: topic sentence • State what the similarity is • 2nd sentence: give a fact about McCarthyism from your notes (citation needed). • 3rd sentence: give a fact about the witch trials from your notes (citation needed). • 4th sentence: Explain how those two things are different. • 5th sentence: Explain how those two things are alike. • 6th sentence: Summarize

  6. Conclusion • 1st sentence: Restate thesis in a different way • 2nd sentence: Discuss how events like McCarthyism and the witch trials are significant in history (think about hysteria, bandwagon, etc.) • 3rd sentence: Think of another situation (in history, literature, or current events) that parallels these two. • 4th sentence: Explain what this pattern shows about people, society, etc

  7. Works Cited • A citation is needed when you use a fact from a source other than your own brain; for example, the websites you used on Friday are outside sources. • Within a paper, your sources are identified using parenthetical documentation (Source). • The word or phrase in the parentheses comes from the works cited page.

  8. Works Cited should look like:

  9. Parenthetical Documentation • Each time you use information from a source, you will use parenthetical documentation. The info in parentheses comes from the first piece of information in the works cited entry • Example: "An account of the Salem witchcraft investigations, trials, and aftermath." UMKC School of Law. Web. 05 Feb. 2010. • This becomes (“Account”)

  10. Parenthetical Documentation • Most works cited entries can be documented with the last name of the author, which is typically the first piece of info in the WCP • Our sources don’t have authors, but they do have titles, so we will use the titles • If a title is long, you do not have to use the entire title, only a short phrase, like (“Witch Hunts”).

  11. Similar titles? • If two entries have similar titles, we can just use enough of the title to show which one we are using. • Instead of (“Salem”) for the last two entries, one would be (“Salem Transcription”) and the other would be (“Salem Witch Museum”). • Note: We use quotation marks because quotation marks are present in the WC entry.

  12. Tuesday, February 9th • Vocabulary Quiz • New Vocabulary Words • Finish Act IV

  13. Wednesday, February 10th • Early Release Day • Review The Crucible

  14. Thursday, February 11th • Test on The Crucible • Time to work on compare/contrast essay. You need a completed handwritten copy of this to turn in to me tomorrow.

  15. Friday, February 12th • Go to the library to type compare/contrast essay.
