=Introduction= You probably brushed your teeth this morning, after you took a shower with the water that you adjusted to just the right temperature. You most likely pulled the jeans you're wearing from the dryer and then headed to the fridge to grab the skim milk for your Quaker Oats. Say goodbye to luxury and welcome wilderness and all its //hysteria//.

=Task= The producers of “Survivor”, a reality television show on the CBS network, are searching for contestants to compete on their newly announced high school edition. The producers have announced that the upcoming season will be depicting Arthur Miller’s famous 1953 play, //The Crucible//. High school students across the United States are being asked to film mock competitions in place of traditional audition videos. You and your friends have been asked to be the directors, the actors, the producers, and the writers of your videos. It is your job to have an accurate representation of Miller’s characters in your videos and to clearly portray themes and the symbol that are found within the text. The members of the two winning teams will be given the opportunity to compete on the hit television show for one million dollars and the chance to receive the title of the “sole survivor.”

=Conclusion= Congratulations! Your video submission has been accepted by CBS and the producers of "Survivor". You've seen that the themes of Miller's play (guilt, intolerance and reputation) are relevant even 319 years after the witch trials. (Tie everything the participants have done back to the Goal. Why did they go through all of this? Tie the scenario to the real world. Remind them of the "Big Idea" that they were supposed to gain from this, just in case they didn't make the connection on their own. Don't get preachy. If you ask a question here, it has to be rhetorical. No work or assignments should be included. Short is good.)
