High School GT Activity: Sacco and Vanzetti

Good morning!  I just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing on Week 2 of our NTI Days!  I had so many plans for fun activities that we would be doing at your school during this time, but COVID-19 had other plans.  I had promised my high school students that we would be participating in a reenactment and investigation of the of the historical 1921 court case of Sacco and Vanzetti.

Since we can't be together, do some research.  Who were Sacco and Vanzetti? What was the alleged crime and where did it take place?  Who was involved?  Were they tried fairly?  What was the Red Scare? If you could go back in time and be a member of the jury, what would you have done differently?  Post your comments below or email me your answers at sarah.howard@perry.kyschools.us.
