Today we briefly looked at the Salem Witch Trials.

To begin class we watched a video on the Salem Witch Trials.  As we watched the video, students answered video questions.

Next, we read a short article on the Salem Witch Trials as a class.

After reading the article, students were assigned the following homework assignment:

Homework:  Underline one sentence in each paragraph of the reading that is the "main idea" of that paragraph.  After underlining one sentence, combine those underlined sentences into one summary paragraph.  Do not simply write the underlined sentences word-for-word.  Change the sentences so they fit together, and make sure they accurately summarize the entire article.  Summary paragraphs are due tomorrow.
