A lesson exploring the Salem Witch Trials as an example of what happens when people start to blame groups and hysteria controls the crowd.

This is a fully-resourced lesson for home learning suitable for KS3 RE and History. Simply download and send to your students - fully explains and guides through concepts slide by slide. Assumes no knowledge to start. Can either be used as part of a series on heroes or as a stand-alone lesson responding to the Cecil Rhodes statue decision. Self guiding, with pictures, questions to think about and then a menu of 6 tasks on the final slide aimed at different abilities. I have 15 years’ experience making lesson resources as Head of RE. You will download an editable powerpoint file as well as a PDF of the PPT - some students do not have Office software to be able to read it.
