The Crucible Act 1: Character Motivation

This is a worksheet with a graphic organizer to track character actions, motivations, and traits. "The Crucible" contains background stories, secrets, and ulterior motives galore, so it's important for students to closely analyze each character to fully understand their actions and intentions.

The second part of the worksheet gives students the opportunity to choose two characters from the play and guess the characters' involvement in the witch trials based on what they know from the activity and reading.
