Classroom Considerations
- The spidergram format does underscore the methods of characterization but does not ask readers to support their assessments with evidence from the text; therefore, consider revising the worksheet so that readers can refer to specific lines from the play
- Although designed for The Crucible, the format of the worksheet could be used with any text
Pros
- The worksheet can be used as an individual activity or as part of a pair-share or groups activity.
Cons
- Beware the typos and grammar errors on the assignment sheet
- Readers are not asked to provide support for their generalizations with evidence from the text
