The Sacrifice

The Sacrifice by Kathleen Benner Duble (Grades 6-8)
The Salem Witch Trials were a unique time in American history. Abigail lives in this time period and must adhere to society rules she does not agree with. During this time in American history, people were accused of being witches because they seemed different from other people. These differences resulted in stereotyping. Look in the St. Petersburg Times for articles depicting stereotypes, discrimination or prejudice. What are the dangers of stereotypes? What can people do to break free from stereotypes? Why is this important?

The dangers of stereotypes are they could be really great people that you stereotype. Imagine if we stereotyped Obama. He probably wouldn't have become president if we just stereotyped him and he didn't get picked because of it.
