The Crucible Project 3
Year 10 – ‘The Crucible’ Project
Each activity has a value. Your minimum amount of credits to reach is 90, but the more the merrier!
This is a fun but serious project to help you understand the play, themes, context and characters, so I am expecting the highest of standards in presentation and effort.
Your project must include a title page about ‘The Crucible’ AND be presented in a folder of some sort.
Even if you do anything on a computer, it must be printed out and stuck in.
Create a quiz on ‘The Crucible’. It must have at least 15 questions, an answer sheet and it must be illustrated or decorated. I expect more than true or false, so really try to think up challenging and in-depth questions (e.g ‘what is the first name of Mr Proctor?’ BORING and EASY!)

10 credits
Create a diary entry from a character of your choice in ‘The Crucible’. Focus on one key event so your writing can have some structure and focus. Think about exploring something what has happened to them or how they might be feeling.

20 credits
Do sketches of three characters from ‘The Crucible’. You must then label them carefully with as many words as you can to describe their characters (be adventurous….don’t say they are nice…BORING!) Once you have written the words, you must then find quotes from the text to back up each word you have written.

30 credits
‘Have no fear now – we shall find (the devil) out if he has come among us, and I mean to crush him utterly if he has shown his face’ (Reverend Hale)

30 credits
Write a newspaper article, about an event from ‘The Crucible’. Remember to try and make your article as credible and realistic as possible. You

    The play ‘The Crucible’ written by Arthur Miller is an allegorical reference to the McCarthyism of the 1950s. Set in the historical context of the 17th century Salem, this play explores several themes to point out how politics, greed and imaginative hysteria can tear a community apart. To further emphasize this, Miller uses different characters and develops them as the play progresses. In addition, his use of effective language intensifies the role of characters like John and Elizabeth Proctor, Abigail Williams, Reverend Parris and many others in the play.…

    The Crucible Title Essay

    The storyline and characters don’t have to represent crucible, though. The title The Crucible is not significant to the play because it doesn’t have anything to do with the plot or characters. The play is an allegory, so it has two ultimate meanings behind it, and the definition of crucible isn’t one of them. It has to deal with the Salem Witch Trials and McCarthyism, which was a campaign against alleged communists back in the 1950s. Neither one of those overlying ideas has anything to do with the meaning of crucible, so the title isn’t that…

    Reputation is tremendously important to citizens and people in positions of authority in Salem, a theocratic society where public and private moralities are one and the same. Focused on maintaining public reputation, the townsfolk of Salem must fear that the sins of their associates and acquaintances will taint their names, and the fear of guilt by association becomes particularly common. There are various characters that base their actions on the desire to protect their delicate reputations. As the play begins, Reverend Parris becomes concerned that his niece Abigail’s increasingly questionable actions, and the hints of witchcraft surrounding his daughter’s coma, will threaten his reputation as a good minister and force him from the pulpit. In Act I, Parris says, “I pray you leap not to witchcraft…They will howl me out of Salem for such corruption in my house…” (Miller 13). He does not want people to associate him, a priest, with any form of witchcraft, because in that society they associate practices of witchcraft with the Devil. Meanwhile, John Proctor, the protagonist, also seeks to keep his good name by not testifying against Abigail in order to…

    The Crucible is a play written about events that happened in the 1690s. It was written by Arthur Miller in 1953 which was adapted into a film thirteen years later. Miller’s play focuses around the factual events in Salem. In The Crucible, power is the focused theme which becomes very important in Salem, and Miller uses that to determine how a character, with or without power, reacts to the situation at hand. Power is to have the ability to determine people’s actions and behaviours to determine the outcomes.…
