 (Actually, it's more of a long-write)

Choose one of the following essential questions from our study of The Crucible and write a persuasive essay. Include at least three strong reasons for your opinion and back up your position with examples.

Your answer should be 5 paragraphs long. Think how you write a 5-paragraph essay. 1^st paragraph begins with a hook, then states your thesis statement, and lists three reasons that support your statement. Each of those reasons will be the subject of the next three paragraphs. The final paragraph is a conclusion and a reiteration of your thesis statement.

You are allowed to use the internet to help you with your answers. We will be sharing these with the class.

1     Can a work of art, such as The Crucible bring about change in the world?
