A. I did not mutter, but I thanked him for what he gave my child.] Q. Have you made no contract with the devil?

A. No.

H[athorne] desired the children, all of them, to look upon her and see if this were the person that had hurt them, and so they all did look upon her and said this was one of the persons that did torment them—presently they were all tormented.

Q. Sarah Good, do you not see now what you have done? Why do you not tell us the truth? Why do you thus torment these poor children?

A. I do not torment them.

2

Examination of Sarah Good

A. I serve God.

Q. What God do you serve?

A. The God that made heaven and earth, though she was not willing to mention the word God. Her answers were in a very wicked spiteful manner, reflecting and retorting against the authority with base and abusive words, and many lies she was taken in. It was here said that her husband had said that he was afraid that she either was a witch or would be one very quickly. The worshipful Mr. Hathorne asked him his reason why he said so of her, whether he had ever seen anything by her. He answered no, not in this nature, but it was her bad carriage to him and indeed, said he, I may say with tears that she is an enemy to all good.

Answer the question below following with the video: 

In this video, you will see one interpretation of what work will be like in the future.

The video demonstrates that many jobs typically done by people will become automated and completed by artificial intelligence in the future. The end of the video asks the question, "Will our children be ready?". 

1. What is your answer to this question?
2. The video did not offer any suggestions of which skills students should have going into this future. In your opinion, what skills do you think students need to have in order to be successful in that future?
3. Think about how the video was crafted. What observations can you make about the video quality and how it expresses its meaning? Do you find it effective? Why or why not?

Think carefully about the questions being asked of you in this first task. There are no right or wrong answers, just what you think and why you think it. Get comfortable with the idea that what you say is important and that your voice matters.

If you need some other ideas to consider, think about the following:

• Why do you think the director chose not to include any people in the video?
• Would the video be more or less effective if it did include people?
