Mystery Skype Practice

Today we are going to be doing a practice mystery Skype.  We will be asking yes or no questions to try and determine where she is located.  The first question asked determined that her country was in the northern hemisphere. We found out a few questions later that, not only was she in North America, but she was in the United States.  She lives near the Gulf of Mexico in Texas. We first asked about all the main cities that we know of. She said no to all except College Station. Because she lives in College Station, she goes to Texas A&M. It is usually humid and warm, and right now it is 82. 


We asked her a little bit about her college life and her major, public health. She like traditions that A&M has. She is in a sorority, like a women's organization and she lives in an apartment, because she is a junior.-Veronyca, Madeline, Makayla, Madison

We kicked off preparation for our 24-hour World Tour today! We're presenting information about a few of the places we will be visiting throughout the tour. Students gathered facts and stories about some interesting places! So far we've heard about Naomi's Village, an orphanage and school, in Kenya, Niagara Falls, a series of massive waterfalls, on the border of New York and Ontario,  The International Spy Museum, the largest collection of espionage artifacts on public, in Washington, D.C. and Palmer Station, a research station in Antarctica! So much more is to come; we're so excited to start the tour, and finally talk to some of the amazing places we have learned about.
