The Salem Witch Trials Newspapers: What Can You Learn From Your Classmates?

For Ms. Doyle's humanities classes, here is your blog post assignment:

2. A detailed connection between the events of Salem and the events you studied for your project.
3. One question for an author or one of the designers of the newspapers.
