Role of Religion, Witches, and Kings

Today we took notes on the role of religion in the 17th C.  Looking at how Puritanism spread rapidly through England. 
What is a Witch Hunt?  "Fear + Trigger = Scapegoat"  After taking notes and discussing these two topics, we watched a Youtube clip of the Salem Witch Hunts.  Then we watched a scene poking fun of the ridiculous nature of witch hunts (Monty Python).
We finished off the class by working on a handout on The Early Stuarts: James I and Charles I.

Map assignment due tomorrow.
