Focus on the Puritans. Students made a story out of the homework reading from the night before. Mr. M instructed them to now "blabberize" the story. This is explained on the homework page. In class we looked at Puritan New England. After a discussion of the growth of the early settlements and what Puritan New England was like, we had our Puritan Day in Court! Students were accused of such crimes as Gossipping, Gambling, and Breaking the Sabbath! A variety of punishments were handed out, all of course done publicly. These were branding, whipping, and public shaming amongst the many choices. It was very entertaining. See you Monday for the Salem Witch Trials.
