  3. Tracking the events from Act 1: Above and Below the Surface

    2. Start a new English Journal. Copy and paste the paragraph below. Use the graphic organizer to complete the sentences.
      1. Some events and conflicts in The Crucible are above the surface and known to all...(WRITE MORE THAN ONE SENTENCE FOR THIS PART). However, there is a lot going on in the play that is below the surface...(WRITE MORE THAN ONE SENTENCE FOR THIS PART). Sun Tzu said that,"All war is deception." I (agree/disagree) that the town of Salem is actually at war with itself...
