*Focus Points Discussion and more:
*What happened with Abigail and the doll? Did Mary know what Abby was going to do? What makes you say this?
*Discuss John’s comments on pg 77: What does he mean, what does this show about him? Discuss all parts, translate every part (write it down)
*Pontius Pilate? Why?
*Pg 79 Hale’s speech interpretation (write it down)
*What about what Hale said affected John most? Why? What does he think about himself?
*Re-read John’s last lines in A2 (pg 80-81)- Interpret what he means by that.
*Talk about what you’ve seen as examples of different focus points
*Discuss pgs. 77, 79, 81 Interpretations
*Think of Rev. Hale’s change from the beginning (pg 36) to Act 2 (re-read his entrance to A2 (pg 62) and how he acts/what he says at the end).  Why has his manner/appearance changed?  Did he want to find witchcraft in Salem when he arrived? What does he feel about the trials now? What evidence in act 2 backs up your opinions and/or shows a possible change? –Write the evidence at least (direct quotes and pg #)
*Act 2 quiz
*Homework:
*Scene 2 (pg 148) –read on own –done by tomorrow

*in WN: What was the author’s purpose in writing the scene (Act 2 Scene 2)? Why has this scene been cut out of basically all performances of The Crucible? What do readers/viewers gain from the possible addition of the scene, what do they lose/why is it unnecessary? Need min. two full paragraphs.  Give multiple reasons.
