Over the past week I have been collecting my last few bits of information for my investigation on the Salem Witch Trials. While I was in the middle of researching for my religion assignment, I came across some facts on Salem and Puritans, so I added them to my notes. Once I had gathered all of my notes and sorted them into paragraphs, I began writing the report. I am having some issues with my focus question, 'How do the Salem Witch Trials help us to understand the Massachusetts society at the time?' because I don't want my report to sound like a narrative, and I need to make strong points. There is a lot that I want to include, like the reasons for establishing the colony, daily life, the impact of religion and the trials but I'm unsure at the moment of how to approach it without focusing entirely on the story. Over the next few days, I want to have completely finished my investigation!
