Do Now: Elizabeth has been asked to persuade John to confess. She promises nothing. What do you think she will do?

Classwork:The focus is on Elizabeth today.
We will be analyzing the events, the characters (their values and decisions) that lead to the resolution of this play.
1. Today's focus is on the episode that centers on Elizabeth's decision to speak with her husband before his pending execution. (p.58)
Consider the following as you make inferences about the internal conflict based on a character's values:
Danforth's objective, Parris' stupidity, John's motivation, and Elizabeth's objective.
Homework: All reading questions must be complete by tomorrow
