Hey everyone! I hope you all had a chance to enjoy the b-e-a-utiful weather this weekend!
This week is supposed to be very nice too, so hopefully we can all stay focussed getting school work done efficiently so we can all savour what is left of summer!
GR 10s- you should have your 2 mysteries explained, with video, link, and image to accompany each.
Today we will be taking a look at a few mysterious events and reflecting on whether we think they are plausible....or impossible.
The first is the bermuda triangle:
The second is the Loch Ness monster
You will read and learn about the theories that support and refute these strange phenomena. Then you will respond to each, stating if you are a skeptic or believer, using evidence to support your position.
Grade 12s- You will be writing an editorial to post on your blog!
