Were Sacco and Vanzetti innocent?

This lesson allows students to investigate an intriguing aspect of the Red Scare through the medium of folk music and an examination of the evidence presented in the trial of these two Italian anarchists. What will your classes conclusion be? This has never failed to work well in years of teaching!

We use this fab song to help engage and educate before looking at the case.
