Canadian Mysteries

www.canadianmysteries.ca

I looked through a lot of the posts from previous years and I may have missed this somewhere but since it was not immediatly present for me, I thought I should post this website. I have had to use it a few times in my undergrad but it has value to all social studies. The Canadian Mysteries website has a number of 'unsolved' historical events presented for students to research. The information needed is provided, background, secondary sources, primary documents are all used in order to allow students to draw their own conclusions about the events. I see it as a great way to teach both bias and primary documents to students. With the variety of mysteries and the face that all of the content is on one site, this can be a very simple yet engaging project to assign to students. It can be done safely (since kids have no reason to leave the site) and easily (because it's all there for you). I know a lot of people will know about this already but for those who don't, check it out!
