Crucible Act 3: DOLTS (Death, Order, Love, Transformation, Sovereignty)
DOLTS (Death, Original, Love, Transformation, Sovereignty)I have always used DOLTS with Shakespeare. I don't recall where I was taught this acronym; however, in a pinch for sub plans, I decided to have my students apply it to The Crucible when I needed sub plans. I used it for a transition between Act 3 and 4, but this could be a good culminating review as well. I like it as a Motif --> Theme activity.

Great Depression/Dust Bowl - Social History - Read & Write Critically
Using Chapter 19 from John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, students get a very real and relevant idea of what struggles Americans faced during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl. Steinbook wrote the book in the late-1930s while the Depression was still ongoing so the book stands as a kind of social commentary on the dilemma we were enduring. Chapter 19 serves as one of the "montage" (as I call them) chapters that break away from the main story and characters - in this case painting a picture of th
