 * How would you have done it?** - Now that you have seen the play, it's your time to be the director. Pick one thing you would have done differently if you had been director? Remember, you can't change the script, but you can change the lighting, the stage, the costumes and the way the actors play their character. //note - the director and actor videos in the "after the play" section may be useful to show to students before they write this entry//


 * A new setting** - Most directors set //The Crucible// in the 1600s, but that is not always the case! Some directors use sets, costumes and lighting to change the setting of the play. If you were the director, when and where would you set this play and why? You can choose any time or place in the past, present or future.


 * Who are these people?** - John Proctor, Abigail and the other characters are from the 1600s, but you may find them familiar. Do any of these people remind you of someone you know? Pick one character and compare them to someone from today. You can choose real people, or television and movie characters. Please be nice. Don't use anyone in this class or school.
