Unsolved+Mysteries

You and your Super Sleuth partner(s) have just been hired to produce a new TV show about unsolved mysteries. You will have one chance to do a “pilot” show that will both entertain and inform your audience. You will choose an unsolved mystery to investigate, using the Internet and books. Your team will then support or refute the findings related to the mystery. Your findings will be shared with the class as TV show.


 * Your Presentation will include: **


 * ** A “catchy” title ** for your show
 * The **"facts**" about the mystery - what are the observations that have led people to believe the phenomenon or mysterious event to be real or true
 * The **theories** about the mystery - what are some possible explanations that either prove or disprove the mystery
 * Your team's **conclusions** - what do YOU believe to be the truth? Use **reasoned judgment** to support your position
 * A Bibliography listing your source
 * Don't forget, your presentation needs to be **well-designed**, **informative**, and entertaining for your audience in order for your show to continue in production.
