The annotated bibliography assignment for The Crucible is due on Monday, October 27. Use the comments on this blog post to recommend sources. Be sure to describe the source and give a reason why you found it helpful for this assignment. Links may be provided as well.
Remember - when you complete your own assignment, you should have a variety of sources and knowledge represented. If you select a source from this list, it must be one that fills a gap in your understanding, not just a source that is available and will help you finish the task.
For this week's columnist project, several students turned in this article from David Brooks:

I thought it was interesting in connection with the hysteria of the witch trials. It could serve as a source for the consideration of what causes humans to have such fearful reactions. It would be interesting to see how you could make connections in your annotated bibliographies and class discussions.
I found a few sites that I believe are good sources.

Side note: does anyone know how to cite the youtube documentary? I'm having troubles.
I found this paper that talks about a bunch of different interpretations of the trials. Its pretty long (15 pages) but its credible and gives some perspectives you may have not thought about.

I doubt that anyone is interested but I found a pretty great dissertation on the role of the patriarchy in the Salem Witch Trials. It's 300 pages, so I haven't read all of it, but the subsections that I have read have been pretty interesting. Here is the url if anyone is interested: http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/57688/gassere_1.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y
ReplyDeleteAs always, if you go through The Mid-Continent Public library and go into the 'U.S. History in Context' research database then you can find a lot of good reference articles and first person accounts of the Salem Witch Trials. This quite helpful because the information is quite easy to understand and is easy to find the information that you need.
