= Working in partnership with Cris Dorsey, Carrillo, and Teresa McCarthy, SEES, we created a RAFT assignment to connect students with the Salem witch trials of 1692. Please refer to their pages for more information. = = = = We sought to use the "3 sources" method that we learned in our previous summer institute. It was our plan to expose the children to the history of this period in 3 totally separate ways. We were able to read several books, watch interesting video clips from Safari Montage, and also view art from the period. Students naturally made very personal connections to this shocking part of our history. Below, please find a copy of our RAFT assignment. =
