An engaging classroom playscript. In 1692, 19 people were executed
for witchcraft and the whole village was engulfed in fear. But what
actually happened in Salem? This play re-tells the Witch Trials by
combining historical evidence with a healthy dose of imagination,
and exploring the build-up of hysteria in the village. It covers
important issues of prejudice and peer pressure, gang mentality,
suspicion and fear. A more accessible version of events, Salem is
ideal for preparation work for The Crucible. It also acts as an
interesting comparison text to Miller's play, placing emphasis on
different events and characters. New, innovative activities
specifically tailored to support the KS3 Framework for Teaching
English and help students to fulfil the Framework objectives.
Activities include work on Speaking and Listening, close text
analysis, and the structure of playscripts, and act as a
springboard for personal writing.
