Flat Earth- Conspiracy Theory- Listen, Short Answer, & Paragraph
I used to hate it when students would bring up conspiracy theories like Flat Earth, as I thought it was my job to convince them that minute why this was unreasonable, and I didn't always have facts to do that!

Princess Diana & British Royals- Conspiracy Theory- Listen, Short Ans. Paragraph
A new generation of students is curious about Princess Diana and her sudden death because of the recent TV show, The Crown.

And, do not fear, the podcast I link to deals responsibly with the truth. In addition to cultural knowledge acquisition, this assignment is also important because it is skill-based, and it targets evidence a
