*Class Activity: Break students off into two groups:


one is the similarities group, and one is the
differences group. Have them talk about what is
either similar or different about the film and the
play. After 5 minutes, come back as a whole group
and have a representative of each group say what
the groups came up with. Have them create a vin
diagram with similarities and differences.
*How were the stories influenced by the Red Scare
and McCarthyism? What proof do you from the
stories?
*Ask the question, The Crucible and The Monsters
Are on Maple Street have a similar message. What
is that message? Is it relevant in todays society?
Why or why not?
