In English, we were required to write an essay about John Proctor. We were given a time limit and a document to refer to for evidence. We were also given the writing prompt "Using what you know about the play The Crucible and the article you just read, describe how the play differed from the actual life of John Proctor. Use references from the text in your essay." Before writing we would have to complete a graphic organizer to help plan out our essay. While doing this timed writing we were allowed to confer with others and do further research as we needed. When first writing this essay I first filled out a graphic organizer. In this organizer I wrote down bullet points I would discuss in the introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion.
