Groupwork
After reading the play, write a list of "I Am" statements about John Proctor, Elizabeth Proctor, Mary Warren, Tituba or Abigail. Choose a group to work with and from your lists, put together an "I AM" poem to turn in for your group. This will be due at the end of the project.
You've been accused!
Go to this site and see what you could have done if you had been one of the accused. Write about what happened in your post. Use your first name and last initial only.
