They will then write a 3-4 page analysis defending that claim (the minimum requirement is a FULL three pages). The paper should be typed (submitted on Google Classroom), double-spaced, 12 point font, Times New Roman, and should have one-inch margins.
Quotes/evidence should be used in all paragraphs, with the exception of the introduction and conclusion. All evidence and quotes should be cited in-text according to MLA format. The essay should also include a works cited page that should include The Crucible only. All other ideas and analysis should be your own thoughts and ideas.
