** Salem **** Witchcraft Hysteria - http://www.nationalgeographic.com/features/97/salem/ ** This National Geographic online interactive presentation immerses the participant in the drama of 1692 Salem, Massachusetts through the use of a window that is spawned when you click on the site logo. Students can follow through the chronological events of that summer or use the drop-down jump menu to focus in on specific incidents that are of interest to them. What makes the site so compelling is the way it hooks you into the unfolding events of the time. This long-running simulation is presented by the Smithsonian's Museum of American History to help students learn while practicing the process of historiography. Acting as historical detectives, students try to explain events in the life of the Springer family in the late 1700s in Delaware. There are ways to self-check their work and to ultimately come to an understanding of how historians learn about history - top notch processes here!
