Where in the World is Nina Pasadena?
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, the National Geographic Ultimate Globetrotting World Atlas.
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!
