3. Modern Witch Hunt Story
If you finish, feel free to work on your IXL for the week: A.7 and B.1
Today, we’re going to continue our Witch Hunt Stories! These will be due at the end of class today
Some things I’m noticing:
Make sure your story actually has the “witch hunt” element. This means you need a group of people who are fearful/hysterical, and their fear should cause them to falsely accuse someone. The key word is falsely accuse – someone innocent needs to be accused for it to truly be a witch hunt! 
Make sure you are showing versus telling. Instead of saying “Bob felt scared,” show us that he’s scared – say, “Bob’s face paled. His breathing came in ragged gasps.” Instead of saying “Mom told me how disappointed she was,” say “Mom sighed at me. ‘I’m so disappointed in you,’ she said.”
