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.

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
