But wait, there’s more!!  A MYSTERY CHALLENGE....
Not only will students gain knowledge about the history of the Eurostar Underwater Train Tunnel but a mystery challenge related to an interesting event will be presented at the beginning of class.  Using slides, music, and drama throughout this fun and interactive lesson, I will give various clues for our young sleuths to try their hands at solving the mystery.  Learners will each be given the opportunity to discuss their theories with others in the class and will also be encouraged to ask me questions during the lesson to “follow their hunches”. All will be revealed at the end of the class, plus learners will have gained knowledge about this 20th century marvel. Let’s put a little mystery in your history!
