For those of you familiar with Arthur Miller's play The Crucible, you might have thought that it was based on the Salem Witch Trials. Well, you thought wrong (at least, according to one of my students).
Apparently, the play is based on the more recent pop culture phenomenon The Blair Witch Project.
And, lest you think that was the only pop culture reference in the play, let me also inform you that Goody Proctor and John Proctor had a daughter who caused strife in the family as well as the town of Salem. (Sounds like a story from Jerry Springer.)
From the mouths of babes (or teenagers) come wisdom and truth.
