Unsolved Mysteries (Print Friendly Version)

Examine one of ten so-called Unsolved Mysteries, or events that have various contradictory theories.
In groups of four research one of these events.

Prepare a presentation for your class that provides:  
     a) A brief historical overview of the 'mystery' event or location.
     b) A look at the different theories that have been put forward over the years to explain the event or location.
     c) Your conclusions based on the evidence you have found in your research, that may discount past theories and gives the best, most reliable explanation for the 'mystery' event or location.

Use a variety of supporting evidence and include a discussion of the reliability and likely accuracy of the sources.
Try and include extracts from original reports or past investigations, recent research, photographs, maps, video clips....  

As a group present your findings to the class in the form of a Prezi, Photo Story, Web Pages, Documentary or PowerPoint.

So take a step into the unknown and use your research analysis skills as a young historian/ investigative journalist to judge for yourself . . .
