1. Warming up with the Puritan fashion police; through the eyes of a Puritan, describe / criticize (or praise) your partner's clothing and hair style using some of the language from the article
- Follow-up discussion as a class:
- What inferences can we make about the Puritans based on their fashion?
- Why did they have such strict fashion rules? How does this connect to other information you've gathered on them?
- Follow-up question with a partner:
- How would you characterize the Puritans' relationship with their God?
- What was their perception of the afterlife?
- How might their relationship with God and their idea of the afterlife have affected their daily lives?
3. Enjoying a brief, crazy clip from The Crucible (one interpretation of the Salem witch hysteria began) and adding to your Puritan document with your observations, questions, and inferences
(note to self: show first 11 minutes)
HW:
1. For tomorrow: Read "Still Puritan After All These Years" (handed out in class). As you read, annotate by jotting down in the margins (or journalling about)...
- what you're wondering
- what you're confused about
- how you're reacting
- what you're inferring
- what connections you're making
- what you're realizing/starting to realize
You will need your annotations for tomorrow's activities; I will walk around and check them during class.
2. For Friday: If you have not yet done so, please complete the survey (and encourage your parents to do the same).
