Investigating the Salem Witch Trials: August 24, 2018

Focus: What really happened during our country's first cultural hysteria, and how does it still affect us?

1. Warming up with "Still Puritan After All These Years": 3 Levels of Questions and a pinwheel discussion

2. Investigating the Salem witch trials; click HERE for the overview; make a copy of it and save it in your "Cultural Hysteria" folder

Step 1 (30 min): Use your note catcher (or any other form of note-taking that works for you on your "Puritan" Google doc) to amass knowledge from various websites. There are a few links on the overview, but feel free to conduct your own Google searches. You will do this part individually.



HW:
1. For Monday: Complete your Salem witch trial notes (spend about 15-20 minutes on this).

2.  If you are planning to purchase a physical copy and/or audiobook of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, now is a great time! We'll be starting it in about a week.
