Tuesday Only: fill out this Counseling Afterschool Program Input Form

Objectives

Agenda

Surprise! Aside from the Salem Witch Trials, there is another CRITICAL historical context you need to learn about to understand the meaning behind this play: COMMUNISM! Just kidding, it's not communism, but it is the fear of communism that was rampant in the 1920s-1950's called the Red Scare, ending with the coining of a term: McCarthyism.
Watch this video explaining the McCarthyism Jigsaw (also linked below) that you will complete over today and tomorrow.
