The Outcast’s Perspective

The Crucible

Final Project

The play The Crucible examines the effects of intolerance, scapegoating, and abuse of power on a society. The projects that we will be working on will focus on the themes of The Crucible and where we have seen the same intolerance throughout history and in the present day. You can think about McCarthyism, violence in schools, the Holocaust, the witch-hunts, religious wars, white supremacy groups, slavery…the list is endless.

Your project should include:

1. Your understanding of the themes of The Crucible
2. Connection between The Crucible and other examples of the same behavior in history and present day.
3. Quotes that illustrate your point
4. Creative display of your information
5. Essay that explains your analysis of the topic
6. Works cited
