Reminder & Hints

Reminder:
Don't forget the quiz over The Crucible is scheduled for our next class, on Wednesday, Jan. 19th.
There are:
10 Character Matching, worth 2.7 pts. each
19 Multiple Choice on Plot, worth 3 pts. each
3 Short Discussion, worth 5 pts. each
Hints:
Don't completely rely on the film version; you need to read the play carefully and pay close attention to the description of the characters given by playwright Arthur Miller. 
Pay close attention to lengthy narration Miller gives in Act One.
Be sure you know the sequence of events -- known as PLOT -- otherwise simply stated as "what happens" in the drama.
