Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Based on actual court records and testimony, this dramatization of the events surrounding the 1692 Salem trials points out that hysteria, rather than evidence, caused innocent people to be hanged for witchcraft.
The program can be used to start discussion on early Colonial history, on the concept of innocent until proven guilty, and on the separation of church and state.
Quantities are limited.
