p. 97 part 9 - Do you know what these things are? Why are they interesting or mysterious?
---
Decide on the location and design of a new “world wonder” (large structure or monument), with the goal to confuse archaeologists who find it in 2000 years. Draw a picture of the monument and speculate about what future archaeologists will think about it.

BREAK
---
Motel of the Mysteries - A book about future archaeologists discovering a 20th century American hotel and speculating about what everything is.

p. 101 - Read the news story. Do you think it’s a true story?

part 2b - Answer the questions
1 She was digging for metal.
2 - Armenia lost internet
  - a monitoring system detected the damage
  - a security team responded
  - they arrested the woman
3 - The woman was 75 years old.
  - The population of Armenia is 3.2 million people.
  - Georgia provides 90% of Armenia’s internet.

part 2c - How are the background events organized with the rest of the story?
	The woman cut the cable.
	(Background information)
	What happened after she cut the cable (in chronological order).

News Article Organization:
- Introduction: 1-sentence summary of what happened
- Body: events in chronological order, with background information (usually after the first event)
- Conclusion: prediction(s) for the future

part 3a - What do these adverbs mean? (match each one with its meaning)
accidentally = by mistake
unfortunately = by bad luck (fortunately = by good luck)
temporarily = for a short time (permanently = forever)
immediately = at once (at that exact same time)
apparently = it seems that (especially for new information we have just learned)

part 3b - Choose the correct words to complete the sentences (sometimes both are correct).
1 Apparently
2 Fortunately = by good luck / Incredibly = by surprisingly good luck (if we’re surprised by the sentence)
3 gradually (slowly, step-by-step)
4 Coincidentally = by chance (when two things happen together but aren’t directly related)
5 deliberately = on purpose (not accidentally)
6 Hopefully = we hope this is true

Homework: Write a news article (with similar organization to the one on p. 101) about the future archaeologists who discover the project you designed today.
