Read the following short articles:
Words about the word "witch"
Witchcraft in New England
Causes for the outbreak of witchcraft hysteria in Salem, Massachusetts
1) Construct a timeline of your person's involvement in Salem witch trials- you may need to look back at the link to important people in the Salem Court Records- use lined notebook paper, write a sentence for each event on your timeline. Keep in mind that you are really collecting information to help you do the second part of the assignment, so attention to detail is important.
2) Pretend that you are the person you chose- write 2 to 3 paragraphs in first person, explaining what happened to you, and why. Try to link it to what you know about the Puritans.
You will work on this assignment today, Thursday, and Friday. It should be turned in on Monday, at the beginning of class.
