2. We went to the Salem Witch Museum because the Wax Museum was closed for the season.
3. We did not contact or make an appointment but it turns out that it is free for SSU students.
4. We didn't really ask any questions because they were all answered throughout the performance and tour after words, there was a lot of information and we learned a lot.
5. I found the which trials performance thing to be most interesting. It is rare you get to hear the real story and even see parts of it. There was no motion in the figures shown but the audio was spot on and I thought that was really cool. It was something different and definitely not what I expected it to be. The after part was pretty cool as well, leaning about the history and different kinds of witches, and that some consider it a religion is something I didn't know. The after part also had some interactive audio's to go along with them, which was pretty cool.
There wasn't really anything that I didn't like. I did have some previous knowledge of the trials and we did go to the memorial site after. I had also visited the Witch House previously, where the judge used to live and that was also cool to learn about. The only thing unsettling about the whole thing is that Salem wasn't where a lot of the things that had to do with the trials happened, in fact all the hangings happened in Danvers. So not mentioning that is obviously okay, location doesn't matter but it should be acknowledged.
6. This contributed to my SOP in Salem because I loved learning more about witches and the Witch Trials because it is a part of history and it was the day after Halloween.
7. I want to learn more about what happened in Europe when faced with all the witch stuff, because it was mentioned in the audio that way more people died of it there than in these trials.
8. For our research papers, we each chose a person from the trials to write more in depth about so we can know just how much the trials affected people that lived it.
9. It says that the link is unpublished at this time but we already have ideas for our presentation.
