BIG QUESTION
How does a society balance collective security and individual freedoms. How should a society respond when threats (real and imagined) to those arise?

Prep
  •  Create your response to the Big Question
  •  Write one specific question for the group to explore about the following topics
    • Giving up freedom for security
      • ​Example Should Senior High implement a search protocol to prevent students from bringing e-cigarettes, drugs, or other banned substances  to school?
    • ​Labeling groups as dangerous, bad, or evil.
      • Example:Should police and the news not release an accused person’s name until after they are convicted to protect their reputation?
    • An interpretive question about the play.
      • ​Example: Why did Arthur Miller choose to use the Puritan society for the setting of this play? What did it add?

Discussed McCarthyism
Watch the video below and take notes on the following...
  • What was McCarthyism
  • How did it affect American life,
  • How does it connect to the Crucible
