Agenda:

• Warm-up: Red Scare Connections
• Videos for questions below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTwDUpbQHJg&list=PLt2BvYQpqnozWfc6gSDtGum66HlVAaWZ8&index=3
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJzV6-wJ3SQ&list=PLt2BvYQpqnozWfc6gSDtGum66HlVAaWZ8&index=4

1.   How do the people in the hearings respond to questions?  (Please note not everyone responded this way.)

2.   What do most of the people on trial in the videos seem to think, specifically, about McCarthy?

3.   What were the Hollywood Ten known for?

4.   Pick one part of the Salem Witch Trials in Miller’s play and explain its equivalent (since it works as an allegory) in the HUAC hearings.
