the witch hunt to begin? RATIONALE: This artifact demonstrates my content knowledge - as it shows my knowledge of The Crucible, which was the first unit we covered in English 11. For Act I, I had students answer multiple in depth questions about two of the major characters in the play: Reverend Parris and Reverend Hale. These questions were separated out by levels of thinking and were meant to scaffold up to the final question.
