__The Crucible__ Performance Assessment
Where do you see the ideas, issues, and characters from __The Crucible__ in your world? Think about the last ten years. Have you met an Abigail Williams or John Proctor? Has fear caused a friend to admit to something he or she didn't do, like Tituba had to do? Can you identify people who have misused their authority as Judge Danforth misused his? Has peer pressure caused you to bully a friend like Mary Warren who tries to stand up and do what's right? What other ways do you see __The Crucible__ in your life? = THE ASSIGNMENT: = == Using a combination of original and found content, create a Wikispace page to answer questions like these and show how you see the ideas, issues, and characters from __The Crucible__ in your world today. ==

This assignment gives you the opportunity to showcase your creativity, talent, and knowledge. Your teachers want to be impressed with the work you do here, so don't let them down!!! **You may work by yourself or in a group**. **Groups can be no more than 3 people**. If are working in a group, remember the following:
 * **each group member will receive the same grade**
 * your final work needs to reflect that you worked well together
 * if you have problems in the group, tell the teacher during the process (if your group member is slacking, tell your teacher early -- if you wait until the last minute, the teacher does not have any way to help your group.)

What your wiki will look like:

 * **All your content must relate to the play, and you must explain this relationship using a caption**.
 * A caption is an explanation, written by you, of how this content you created or found connects to the play. Just like a photo in a newspaper has a caption, your content also needs a caption.
 * When writing your captions, be casual not careless!! The captions unify your wikispace page together; instead of explaining what you did out loud to someone, you will be putting that conversation in text on the page.
 * The wiki must have visual appeal. Avoid cluttering the page with too many details, colors, pictures, etc. Do make it stand out using appropiate visual tools.
 * Somewhere on the wiki page you need a works consulted page. Use Easy Bib to help make this page.

==Examples of ORIGINAL content that you create: ==
 * poems
 * art
 * letters
 * songs
 * scripts
 * remixes
 * mash ups

==Examples of FOUND content that you get from other sources: ==
 * websites
 * photos
 * songs
 * art
 * videos
 * any digital media

This assignment is worth **100 points** and is due on **Friday, October 29**. Also, on that Friday, we will have casual sharing day so you can see each other's work.
