Class: Wednesday, January 12, 2011

According to the Macon State homepage, classes are open and running normally today. I HOPE to be in class today, even though schools in our county are closed.  I plan to go over background information to Arthur Miller's The Crucible, which you have been reading. Background information and helpful links will be on the class blog, later today. The quiz I had planned for today will be on Monday, so be sure to get the background info., posted later today and have the drama read by then. Be familiar with the sequence of events (also known as plot) that unfolds in the drama and be able to identify the following characters and know what role each played in the drama:

• John Proctor
• Abigail Williams
• Rev. Samuel Parris
• Rev. John Hale
• Deputy Gov. Danforth
• Mary Warren
• Elizabeth Proctor
• Giles Cory
• Rebecca Nurse

I will be taking attendance for "no-show" reporting today. If you did NOT attend the first day of class, and cannot make it to class today, you need to email me, so that you are not listed as a no-show. I will NOT count any absence today against any student not in class.

Be safe and stay warm.
