DOE wifi and Netflix

I want to show my students a netflix documentary. It's blocked on the NYCPS and DOEguest wifi networks.

Is my only choice hotspot wifi from my phone? I've got unlimited data so it's okay, I just want to make sure that is in fact the best option here and I haven't forgotten something obvious. Thanks!

Salem witch trials lesson

I have to design a one-off, 45 minute Salem witch trials lesson for 8th graders.

I typically teach U.S. history 1850-present, but I offered a gift in this year’s auction that a kid could pick a topic for a class and I’d make a lesson on their interests. The kid who won the auction wants a Salem witch trials lesson.

I’m gonna teach it as a one off on a day in June. Anyone have good ideas on resources to use?

Thanks!

This is my first year at my school, 4th year teaching 8th grade U.S. History. But this school makes the 8th graders take the U.S. History and Government Regents.

For the New York U.S. History teachers out there: what are your go-to study recommendations for students? Websites, books, etc.

Thanks!
