      Mysteries Decoded - "The Witches of Salem"

      More than 300 years after the Salem witch trials, something strange began happening in Salem Village (now called Danvers) – in 2012, a group of high school girls began to experience bizarre hiccuping.  Some of the girls hiccuped for over a year!  But these were not just normal hiccups – they were very loud and high-pitched and initially, doctors were baffled by what they were seeing.  Some people think that there could be a link between what happened in Salem in 1692, and the strange outbreak of hiccuping at a school in the same location hundreds of years apart.  


      Today we are going to watch a documentary that looks at parallels between the bizarre behaviors in Salem in 1692, and the mysterious outbreak of hiccuping that began in 2012. 

      Activities: 

      1. Watch the video and answer the questions.

       â€˜Witches of Salem - Mysteries Decoded (2022).’  

      2. What is the Lesson of the Salem Witch-Hunts Today (Google Classroom)

    • Term 4-Week 3


      In the Early Middle Ages Christians, Jews and Muslims lived together in mutual tolerance.  But then the Black Death came to Europe.

      Nearly half of the population died.

      There was chaos as there were not enough people to do the work. Religious tensions increased.

      Activities
