Mini-Lesson 4

• Analysis 2-A

22

• The year - 1730
• The place Burlington, New Jersey
• The source- Pennsylvania Gazette
• The reason- witch hunts
• The result- death of some innocent people

23
The following excerpt is from an article of the
PennsylvaniaGazette. Please read along.
24
The two people were to be tested to determine
whether the charge of witchcraft was true.They
would be subjected to two tests. In the first
test they would be weighed in a scale against the
Bible. If they were heavier than the Bible, then
this would be evidence that they were not
witches.
25
In the second test, they would be tied and
thrown in a body of water. If they floated, then
this would be evidence that they were witches.
26
Analyze

• Wow! What was that all about? Quickly reread the
  excerpts and watch for the answers to these
  questions.
• For what reasons were the tests?
• How many tests would be done?
• How would they know if they were witches?

29
Here are the questions again.
For what reasons were the tests? How many tests
would be done? Two How would they
know if they were witches? First test If person
was heavier than Bible, then he was not a
witch. Second test If a person floated, he was
deemed a witch.
To determine if the persons were witches
30
In analyzing we

• Break the source down into smaller parts
• Investigate or examine its parts
• Ask questions

Back to the Witch Trials

• Reread the short paragraph of the trial.

34

• The two people were to be tested to determine
  whether the charge of witchcraft was true.They
  would be subjected to two tests. In the first
  test they would be weighed on a scale against the
  Bible. If they were heavier than the Bible, then
  this would be evidence that they were not
  witches.

35
Evaluate

• What kind of questions came to mind and were not
  answered?
• Share and have someone write down the questions
  you have as a class about this witch test.

36
Evaluate

• Now look at the questions. Place a check mark
  beside the ones which show a comparison with
  something the class already has some knowledge
  of.
• Example How much could a Bible possibly weigh?
  (We know that a Bible usually doesnt weigh as
  much as a person.)

37

• Are there any questions you cant answer as a
  class?
• How could you possibly answer these with more
  time?

38

• As the class evaluated the test trial, it
  probably found itself comparing ideas in the
  trial
• with what is known today
• with what could be known with research
• In other terms, the class evaluated or judged
  this event with facts.

39
Whats the Evaluation?

• Or simply, what is the class judgment about this
  excerpt over the witch trial?
• Share and keep results for tomorrow.

Witch Trial at Mount Holly

• .They would be subjected to two tests. In the
  first test they would be weighed in a scale
  against the Bible. If they were heavier than the
  Bible, then this would be evidence that they were
  not witches.

43
Elaborate

• Sketch a picture of what this event might have
  looked like.
• Who is going to stand where?
• Who or what is going to be on the other side
• How will they know if the person is a witch?
• How might the person(s) be dressed?
• Be sure not to add something that might be
  inaccurate.

44
Elaboration

• Show your friend your picture. Ask them to tell
  of anything you added which may not be accurate
  for the time period.
• Example A police car waiting in the background
  for the guilty.

45

• The more you labored on it or provided details,
• the more you expanded you and your friends
  knowledge of the Puritans in 1730.
• Good job.

46
A final point

• In the previous lesson, we may have been harsh
  about evaluating the Puritans and the trial.
• Now that we have elaborated or labored about
  it in detail, can we begin to understand that
  they didnt know all that we know today?
• Giving the detailed treatment to the source, we
  might want to reevaluate how accurate the writing
  might have been for the time period.
