English/witches.
For English class, I got assigned the Salem Witch Trials. To present our paper, we're suppsoed to act it out. Like, you can't read your paper, I have to act like I'm a witch and supposed to make up a story to show my class. I'm scared, and I dunno what to act out? I already planned having a court scene, where the witch is proven guilty. Any other ideas?

I'm learning about this also, coool.
To act like a witch, you don't need to wear a witch hat, carry a broom, or wear green face paint, since ordinary people got accused.
My teacher said that what started the Salem witch trials was a group of young girls who rebelled against their Puritan society. They accused others, and then others would accuse others...and so on. So in your court scene, you could start saying something about the witch like.."MARY'S A WITCH, I SEE HER SPIRIT IT'S OVER THERE! It's on Betty!" lol...Basically what the "witches" did back then was acting, so just follow along. Then "Betty", or whatever, can start like looking around and screaming or something...actual kind of funny. So have fun with it and good luck. Hope I helped! :)

I am learning this too.
But you should play the role of Tituba, who really sparked things up the most. She claimed to be a witch and said that there were others, also accusing Sarah Good and Sarah Osbourn along with the circle girls. The Reverend beat the "confession" out of Tituba, so you could do that to forshadow it a bit.
:D
