Last Friday, AP United States History (APUSH) students had a Salem witch hunt. Students had to safely mingle in order to figure out what colonies their classmates were from and what religion they were pretending to be (Quaker or Puritan). By discussing their backgrounds, they had to guess who might be the potential witch hiding in the colonies.
