Act IV, Part I

BellringerWhat does this statement from Rev. Parris show about Abigail’s true character?

“My niece, sir, my niece--I believe she has vanished.” Act IV

Recap: We began with "Picture Your Vocab" for your Act III vocabulary quiz tomorrow. I find that the picture associations with the terms work best for these longer vocab tests. Please be sure to review the Power Points that you created in class today.

We then began Act IV. All of the actions came to a head in Act III, so now Act IV will present our resolution, and tie everything together. Reverend Hale returns to read Rebecca and John their last rights. He realizes he was wrong in his approach when he was last there, and he tells Dept.Gov Danforth that this whole trial is a lie. Danforth says that since he has already hanged 12, he cannot stop the hanging of these 7, as it would look bad on his part. Hale and Parris beg Elizabeth to speak to John to get him to confess to witchcraft, so that he won't hang.
Today's notes are posted below. Nice job with the play! We're almost done!



Have a great night!
