and watching videos discussing The Scarlet Letter
(click on the icon).  When you get to the site, look on the right 
hand column at the section labeled "Recaps for this Book".  
Watch all the videos (use the scroll bar to make sure you see all 
of the videos available).  I know you just read this book, but I
you to get more out of the reading than just the reading.  So,
you will need to listen to the annoying lady discuss more of
the details of the story like the symbolism, etc.
You need to take notes over each video.

Under each section heading of the notes, you need to have at least 5-7 well thought-out sentences to receive full credit for this assignment.

~from these bullet statements, write a one paragraph 
summary of the plot.  Make sure you include the setting, 
the main characters, and what happened in the story.  Also, a good summary includes the basics of the entire storyline, rather than just the beginning, or your favorite parts.
