This WebQuest was developed as part of the Teach the Teacher Collaborative at Thacher School. The WebQuest allows the students to create a weekly journal that documents the similarities and differences of the Salem Witchcraft Trials and Senator Joseph McCarthy's Hearings of UnAmerican Activities. This WebQuest was specifically designed with scaffolding to support the Resource Student who may need a bit more direction in completing the assigned tasks.

Teacher Introduction

 This project involves every eleventh grade teacher and student.  Teachers in each discipline will team up to present material, discuss with students the WebQuest, and facilitate the completion of the project.  The Library Media Teacher and Technology Assistant will assist in the research and technical aspects of the WebQuest.
