At the beginning of class, students were given 5 minutes to review for their grammar and vocabulary quiz. Then, the students took their quiz. After the quiz, the class engaged in independent reading until all student had completed the quiz. When all students completed the quiz, the class viewed a History Channel documentary, In Search of History: The Salem Witch Trials, and completed the accompanying viewing guide.
