Wednesday & Thursday; November 4 & November 5

We took a quiz over the first ten words of "The Crucible" vocab list. Ten points. Retakes on the test can earn up to seven points.Take it within a week of the test.

We started a second list of words. I will post them at the bottom of this blog. Use your own sheet of paper to create the worksheet. Your choice of format.

Using student crazy acting skills, we acted out the remainder of Act One of "The Crucible." Make sure you update your Tea Party Character Chart. Also, keep up on the study guide. Answer using complete sentences. Make sure you paraphrase, tell who said the quote, to whom the quote was spoken, and what this quote reveals about the person who said it.

Remember, an open book quiz over the grammar packet, pages 1-2-3-4-5-9-10 will take place on November 17 or 18.

Every Act of the Crucible would be a good time to review the act using spark notes or something similar. Reread sections we do in class. Review the characters we discuss.

1. abomination noun something that causes disgust or hatred



Wearing a Tualatin jersey or t-shirt at Tigard High is considered an abomination.

2. deference noun

Mr. Kilson demanded deference from all of his students, which meant that they were required to refer to him as “Oh Honorable Teacher”, laugh at all of his lame jokes, and never question any blatant errors he made while instructing

3 partisan adjective

prejudiced in favor of a particular cause.


The election official was replaced after it was determined she was too partisan to count the ballots fairly.
