Puritan Day in Court.
We reviewed the reading from the night before. Students checked to see if their main ideas aligned with those from the passage:
- The Puritan Family was to be a mini-version of Puritan society.
- The behavior of the individual reflected upon the entire community and their relationship with the Lord.
- Puritans were not just boring, strict, and wearing only white and black clothes.
- Time wasting was frowned upon in Puritan society.
- Punishments varied but mainly 1) based on public humiliation and/or 2) corporal punishment - the idea was to correct poor behavior and that the person would not repeat the offense in the future.
Then, we had our Day in Court - 3 students were accused of crimes - Breaking the Sabbath, Gambling, and Gossipping! Trials were held, punishments were handed out, and behaviors corrected!
