The Crucible Unit Bundle (130+ pages, 200 questions) / Google Ready!

Arthur Miller's The Crucible is a complex and fascinating allegory. It's a staple in many American literature classrooms. In designing a unit for this text, I wanted to cover a variety of standards and skills students master as they read and act out the drama.

If you were to purchase all of these resources, you would spend $28, but with this bundle, you save $5, which is like getting two resources for free! All together, that's 130+ pages and 200 questions!

To help design the unit, I have included a Unit Planner and Pacing Guide. Additionally, you will find:

• Anticipation Guide: The anticipation guide is my favorite way to engage students in the themes and topics from The Crucible.
• Character Map: This graphic organizer helps students keep track of the relationships between and among characters!
• 25 Journals: These journals are perfect bell work to help students make connections to the text!
• 36 Task Cards: I love task cards to encourage meaningful movement and classroom conversations! Perfect for differentiation and exit tickets!
• What is McCarthyism? TED-ed Listening Guide: This is one of y best-selling resources and helps teachers build historical context for students!
• Symbol Log: Students update this graphic organizer each time we encounter a key symbol.
• Character Portraits: Students use this set to visualize the girls at the beginning and to analyze parallel characters during Act III.
• Witchcraft Checklist: To help students build connections with the text, students develop a list of characteristics to spot a witch in Salem, in the 1950s, and in the modern day. I added a rubric to help you quickly assess this fun writing activity!
• Setting Graphic Organizer: Students update this graphic organizer each time the play's setting changes.
• Plot and Theme Graphic Organizer: This resource helps students connect plot structure and theme. Perfect for Acts III and IV!
• Literary Criticism Graphic Organizer: This tool helps students analyze the text through 6 different critical lenses!
• Historical Context Graphic Organizer: This is an easy way to set up the novel and help students understand its historical context. Perfect for jigsaw groups!

For assessment, you will find one quiz for each act! The test has multiple-choice and writing questions plus an easy-to-use and editable rubric!

• The Crucible Act I Quiz
• The Crucible Act II Quiz
• The Crucible Act III Quiz
• The Crucible Act IV Quiz
• The Crucible Multiple-Choice and Writing Assessment

To meet the needs of as many teachers as possible, I've included everything in a Google Slides and Google Form. This means all the questions and directions are editable!

Since these are Google resources, when you purchase this resource, TPT will create a file in your Google Drive where you will find the Google Forms and Google Slides.
