There was a hype in everyone ever since Mrs.Lees stated that our double block would be taken up by Mytery Skyping. Our nerves jangled as we tried our best to figure out what that would be. Finally, she disclosed that we, as a group had to find an alien class's exact location in any part on the globe, before thay found us. Happily, we rolled up our sleeves.
Mrs.Oakland's and Mrs.Lees's classes were teamed up together, to win thsis challenge. Another class jumped into the competion hence Mrs.Oakland and Mrs.Less had to splitapart in order to even out the teams.
As our class (Mrs.Lees's) headed back to class, the team we were about to face tweaked news about thier power outage, as a result we looked forward for another class joining us instead. Our patience soon broke as we decided to Mystery Skype Mrs.Lees's close friend, Mrs.Lots.
Before starting Mrs.Lees stated the rules:
We had twenty questions that had to have yes or no answers.
Since Mrs.Lots alredy knew Mrs.Lees's location she was out of the game, so only we had to find her.
Everybody was on thier own project, looking for ways and questions to ask that would nerrow down her location. Our smartivity led us to an efficient and effective way of finding out her location:
1. Which side of the equater
2. What continent
3.What was the Time Zone
4. What type of governmnt system they have.
5. Dominant Ethinic Diversity
6. Language
We encountered many problem along the way but thrashed them along the way. We finally reched our destiny when a voice form the crowd of student from our team reached out : St.Martins on Gurensy Islands, leaving Mrs.Lots jaw-dropped. This particular land mark currently under the care of United Kingdom only 63 square kilometers, roughly one fift the size of Surrey B.C. The government sytem is British Crown dependency (posession of the British Crown). They do not have a military of their own ad rely on the British to provide help in case of wars. The dominant ethinic diversity there is Christionity and thir main launguage currently is English (before was French). This beautiful country is full of beaches and oceans due to being located right on top of the Atlantic Ocean. It's a living paradise with its climate barely ever raching blow twenty degrees. It one of the most beautiful contries.
This was the introductry activity to geography. Throught out this activity we encountered many problems but found out ways to resolve them, we learned about geography and it was alot of fun too!
Glad you had a lot of fun with our mystery Skype Ali. I like some of your creative play with words.
