Here are the details...
Newspaper
Project – The Crucible
American
Literature
Fridborg/Civitella
You will create the
front and back page of a newspaper from 1692.
Your
page must include the following:
1.
ONE
HISTORICAL ARTICLE – Using a minimum of 1 source, describe an actual
event from the 1690’s – preferably something that can be related to the play.
You may choose anything that has occurred during the decade, even though the
date on the paper is 1692. The information must be cited parenthetically. The
article must be written as if it is an actual newspaper story of the event and
must be at least 250 words long.
2. ONE EVENT ARTICLE – Tell
the story of an event in the play as if it is an actual news article describing
the event (at least 250 words). The account must be accurate according to the
play, but you may include additional invented information to flesh out the
story (if it doesn’t go against the story).
3. ONE INTERVIEW ARTICLE – Create
an interview with a character from the play. This must be presented as an
article or as a Q/A “dialogue.” The character’s responses to the questions must
reveal insights into that character’s relationship to a theme of the play and
must be accurate according to the events in the play and Miller’s
characterization. This article must be at least 150 words.
4. ONE EDITORIAL – addresses at least one event
in the play. The editorial should be at least 150 words long and gives your
opinion on the event.
5. ONE ADVERTISEMENT OR RECIPE – includes
a product or recipe accurate to the time period. Can be invented but must either
be a product that would have been found in 1692 or created into a dish.
6. ONE MEME – create a meme that discusses
a theme found within the story. Needs to make the reader laugh but must remain
school appropriate. If you wouldn’t be comfortable showing your grandma and
Mrs. Wilkes – don’t’ do it. https://memegenerator.net/create - copy and paste
or print and paste into newspaper.
