Design a new “Wonder of the World” with the goal of confusing or trick future archaeologists (e.g. in 2000 years).
Choose a location for your wonder and draw a diagram of it.
What might future archaeologists think about it?

Example types of “wonder”: building, statue, monument, standing stones, large pictures on the ground (like Nazca), etc.

p. 101 - Writing a news story.

part 1 - Read the story. Do you think it’s true?
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/apr/06/georgian-woman-cuts-web-access

part 2a - Answer the questions about the introductory sentence
1 A woman cut a cable and cut off Armenia’s internet.
2 an elderly Georgian woman
3 Georgia/Armenia
part 2b - Answer these questions about the rest of the text
1 She was digging for metal
2 - Armenia (and some of Azerbaijan) lost internet
  - the damage was detected by a monitoring system
  - a security team responded
  - she was arrested
3 (Background information helps us understand the story but isn’t part of the events of the story.)
  - Georgia provides 90% of Armenia’s internet service
  - Georgia’s capital is Tbilisi
  - the population of Armenia is 3.2 million people
  - the woman was 75 years old
  (In the full article, additional background information includes that the cable was owned by the Georgian railway network and that digging up copper to sell is common in the region.)
part 2c - How are the events and the background information organized?
	The woman cut the cable.
	Background information about her and the location
	Next events (in chronological order)
	Future prediction
	(The full article includes some further background information at the end.)

News Article Organization
- 1-sentence summary of what happened (with more details than the headline)
- Introduction: background information about the person or people involved and other useful context
- Body: (the rest of the) events of the story in chronological order
- Conclusion: speculation or predictions
---
Vocabulary: -ly adverbs
part 3a - What do these adverbs mean? (Find them in the story and match them to their definitions.)
accidentally = by mistake (not intentionally)
unfortunately = by bad luck
temporarily = for a short time (not permanently)
immediately = at once
apparently = it seems that / it appears that (This is common for new information we’ve just learned but perhaps aren’t 100% sure about.)
part 3b - Write the options that make sense (sometimes both make sense)
1 Apparently,
2 Fortunately, (if this is good luck)
  Incredibly, (if this is really surprising good luck
3 gradually (step-by-step; slowly, not immediately)
4 Coincidentally, (when two things happen together but are not connected)
5 deliberately (intentionally; not accidentally)
6 Hopefully, (we hope this is true)

Homework: Write a news article (with a similar structure to the on on p. 101) about future archaeologists discovering the “wonder of the world” that you designed in class today. (The background can be information about the place it was discovered and when it was built. The conclusion can have some speculation by archaeologists about its purpose or meaning.)
