About this resource
What's inside this resource
If your students are reading The Crucible, you may be on the hunt for all the resources to pair alongside this renowned play.
This resource is a The Crucible Booklet Project that was designed to give your students the opportunity to reflect on the text and show what they know.
For the teacher: Print the booklet pages back to back. The pages should be cut on the dotted lines and around the tabs. Put the pages in order and staple. It would be best to staple in one corner or at the top of the booklet. Stapling on the sides will cut off part of the project. Once the book is properly assembled, students will be able to work from page to page.
The pages are as follows:
1. Characters. Students will illustrate one of the three characters included. They will select a quote by that character and use it as evidence to explain the importance of that character.
2. Mini-Essays. There is 1 essay question for students to respond to.
3. Characters. Students will analyze the personality of 2 different characters.
4. Setting & Tone. Students will reflect on the critical and unsympathetic tone of The Crucible.
5. Compare and Contrast. Students will compare and contrast Abigail and Elizabeth. Students will compare and contrast Reverend Hale at the beginning and the end of the play.
6. Setting & Tone. Students will reflect on the forest scene and the atmosphere it created for the play.
7. Symbols. Students will reflect on what they think certain objects in the story symbolize. Students will research and determine why they think the author named this play “The Crucible.”
This resource was designed for 7th grade students and higher. This is great for independent work, but students may also enjoy discussing pages with a partner before formulating their individual answers.
An answer key is not included, as most pages are reflective writing pieces.
