We watched 'The Crucible,' by American playwright , Arthur Miller, and talked a bit about the Salem witch trials that took place in Massachusetts in the late 17th century. We discussed the setting, the climate of the times, and the hysteria that clouded the minds of people caught up in the witch hunts. Then, encouraged by Ms. Judie, Amira treated me to some of her acting skills. The three of us proceeded to the science lab, where Amira got into character and performed a scene out of Mean Girls. She clearly has a natural talent for acting and enjoyed performing the scene for me a bit later in the session, using different accents. It was both a productive and entertaining session that we mutually enjoyed.
