Join the Acme Detective Agency on the hunt for super spy criminal mastermind, Nina Pasadena. She and her henchmen are stealing treasures, and monuments from around the world. You and the other Acme Agents will follow the clues leading you through countries of the world, exploring exotic cultures and locations -- all to deduce and track down the identity of the criminals and return the stolen goods.
As Nina and her gang escape to different parts of the globe, you will give chase by solving clues and fact finding using your student world geography book (more info upon registration). Each case will take you to three continents, three countries, and three cities on your hunt for suspects.
You will be given one Agent Special Assignment during the year (aka- a short research paper, and drawing task to work on at home) about a specific country that is a henchman hide-out. You will present your Special Assignment in front of the Acme team (oral presentation).
Will we catch Nina Pasadena in the end? Join us to find out! This crime-solving class is sure to be full of mystery and intrigue!

TRUE HISTORY UNKNOWNS OF INDIANA JONES: Raiders of the Lost Ark *NEW *
MONDAYS 11:30am-12:30pm (online via zoom)
TAUGHT BY: Ani Janbazian, Vendor: We Spark Learning
TARGET: Grades 8 - 12
Class Size:14
COURSE DURATION: 6 weeks only
DATES:
January 24 - March 7,2022
COST PER SESSION
$130 for private pay homeschool families.
$145 for iLead, Epic, Aveson, Compass, Heartland, Mission Vista Academy, Blue Ridge Academy, Pacific Coast Academy, Mission Vista Academy, Cabrillo Point Academy, Granite Mountain, Sage Oak, Sky Mountain, Summit, Golden Valley, and Excel Academy Charter students. If you don't see your school listed, please contact us at WeSparkLearning@yahoo.com so we can apply to become a vendor for you.
Students will learn more about the real history, archeology, locations, relics, people, and cultures, that inspired the adventures of Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark. We will follow along with Indy through his epic journey, seeking to know more about the people, places and things that cross his path through in the first film of the franchise.
After one introductory class, each class will feature viewing a 20-23 minute segment of film, discussing the real-life historical elements that are featured in the story, weighing the truth or exaggeration of it's portrayal, expanding the lesson using relevant terminology, or timelines, and leave with a bonus Quest Challenge for extra knowledge on the subject.
Students will need to access Google Classroom for assignments, and a printer to print weekly materials.
What are the Crusades?
Who are the Knights Templar?
What is the Ark of the Covenant?
Where is the real city of Petra?
What do we know about the Nazca Lines?
Who inspired the character of Indiana Jones?
These are just some of the questions this class will answer!
IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS
The minimum grade recommendations for this class has been set partially due to Indiana Jones series being rated PG-13. They depict gun violence, deaths, gross-out scenes with bugs, snakes, and blood, incinerations, and temple torture scenes that can be quite gruesome. To read more about the content of this film series, I recommend CommonSenseMedia.org for their age-based reviews. Parent permission slips for viewing will be required of all students taking this class.
TO REGISTER: Simply complete the form and payment on the REGISTRATION PAGE of this site. Charter School students should request a P.O./Enrichment Certificate to be issued as soon as the school begins processing for this period, in order to secure enrollment.
