The Witchcraft of Salem Village Cycle 1, Day 3
Agenda • Reading Goal: • Using information about the setting to analyze the characters’ actions and thoughts. • Today’s Big Question: • Is it true that where there’s smoke, there’s fire? Why or why not? • Team Cooperation Goal: • Practice active listening
Review T-P-S • What major events have happened so far? • What are the most important details of the setting so far?
Setting T-P-S • Have people always known the earth was round? • Have people always known that the earth rotates around the sun? • Setting, also known as “aka” context
Listening • Try to evaluate the events given the context. • Listen as I read pages 35-40. • Listen to Think Aloud. • T-P-S • What was my first reaction? • What did I do next? Why
Read pgs 40-50 silently • Describe the two magistrates. How did they view their role in the examination of the accused witches? • What does the author mean when she writes on pages 44-45: “The examination of Sarah Goode, which is preserved in legal records of the time, is a clear example of the kind of ‘fair’ trial given the witches”? Give examples to support your answer. • What happened to the children when Sarah Goode tried to testify? Why did witnesses interpret this as witchcraft? • Was Sarah Goode’s reaction on page 50 what you expected? How might it have been a reasonable response, given the context? (write)
Reflection # heads • What did people see and hear in the courtroom? • How did they interpret what they saw? Why? • Why do we interpret the scene differently? • So it is always true that where there’s smoke, there’s fire? Why or why not?
