Students received a packet of information (get a copy from Mr. Zartler if you were absent.). Reviews of the play The Crucible from 1953, 1990, and 2002. Background on Senator Joseph McCarthy and on the House Un-American Activities Committee; An Obituary for Arthur Miller (that includes a picture of him with his then wife Marilyn Monroe), and a Timeline of the 1950s.
We examined the time line of the 1950s and noted a predominance of fear and tension because of the Cold War, and the threat of nuclear weapons.
HOMEWORK: In the section on Joseph McCarthy and the HUAC please underline passages that reflect fear and tension that was present at the time.
