The Real Salem Witch Trials
While reading the novel Witch of Blackbird Pond, we discussed the actual history of Puritanism in America and the horrific events of the Salem Witch Trials. After reading the book in its entirety, we watched a documentary from the History Channel about the real trials and compared and contrasted the documented events to behaviors detailed in the book.
