Item description

Help high school readers navigate challenging vocabulary in David H. Keller’s paranormal short story “The Dogs of Salem” with this set of word games and activities, which are ideal for short fiction units focusing on Gothic horror during the Halloween season. From helping students make sense of complex terms to exposing them to words that enhance the narrative’s supernatural atmosphere, this engaging bundle of resources (a vocabulary application worksheet, crossword puzzle, and word search) is accompanied by answer keys and a copy of the public domain text. Materials are delivered in Word Document and PDF formats. 

What’s Included:

  • Word search (plus answer key)
  • Crossword puzzle (plus answer key)
  • Terminology application worksheet (plus answer key)
  • The public domain short story

“The Dogs of Salem” invites students to consider the lingering legacy of the Salem witch trials and the dangers of mass hysteria. These themes open the door to classroom discussions about historical injustice, persecution, and how fear can influence moral judgment. With its concise length, mysterious tone, and psychological intensity, the narrative appeals to even the most reluctant readers, particularly those drawn to horror stories and the Halloween season. Incidentally, “The Dogs of Salem” pairs nicely with “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne and “The Salem Horror” by Henry Kuttner.
