Unit 1 Overview:
Through our excerpted study of The Crucible the class will explore a variety of themes that permeate early American literature. Students will piece together historical / sound information amidst the drama of the texts to come to a better understanding of what drove the conflicts of the time period. Exposure to other core texts of the time (i.e. the writing of Jonathan Edwards and indigenous people) and a variety of multimedia (i.e. History Channel documentary, webquests) will provide a well-rounded experience for learners.
