Salem+Witch+Trials+Project

For this project, we will be holding a press conference in class. Consider this a "pre-trial" press conference in which all those involved in the Salem Witch Trials are given an opportunity to proclaim their own personal innocence, or make accusations against others, in the matters at hand.

You will be responsible for researching your character. This means knowing the background information of your character, the social status and occupation of your character, and the basis for the charges which have been brought about by your character or why you are bringing charges against another character.

For this project, you will need to deliver a **1-2** minute opening statement in which you make your plea to the masses. You will then have the opportunity to answer questions from the audience for no more than 3 minutes. (This means that, as a member of the audience, you will be expected to ask questions of others who are taking their turn at the microphone and will need to know a bit about their characters as well.)

Below, I've listed the characters who will be present at the press conference for each class. Also, please use the website link on the previous page to help you conduct your research. Enjoy!
