Today, students began class with a warm-up exercise, in which they delineated between "contradiction," "oxymoron," and "paradox." After our discussion, we completed our dramatic reading of The Crucible Act III. Then, we viewed PBS Secrets of the Dead: Witches' Curse, an expository video that presents a scientific claim about the Salem Witch Trials. Students completed a viewing guide. Please see the video below, and see Mrs. Crandall for a copy of the viewing guide.
