JUNIORS CONSTRUCT PROJECTS FOR AMERICAN LITERATURE CLASS

Ellis Tech Juniors have been studying many aspects of American Literature.  As America progressed as a country, so did the literature.  The entire Junior class has just completed a unit on the Puritans.  They learned about their values, beliefs, way of life, and of course their literature.  One such story that embodied Puritanical society was Arthur Miller’s The Crucible.  The story revolved around the Salem witch hysteria of 1692.  Upon finishing the story, Juniors were given a list of projects from which to choose.  Some project offerings included creating a: wanted poster of an accused witch, a diorama depicting a crucial scene in the play, a newspaper, and a model village.  The projects that were submitted were amazing!  Our kids truly aspire when given a hands on assignment!
