Conspiracy Theories: Written Assignment

What do you believe?

You are going to write a short paper on the topic of conspiracy theories. You will focus on what YOU think and believe. Only a small part will be dedicated to explaining the theory.

You will get weeks 38 and 39 to finish your paper. Keep it short but try to include all the questions below in the text.

These questions will help you write the text:

·      Describe the theory – what is it about? Who started it? etc.

·      Do you find anything about the theory that seems plausible*? Explain how you think.

·      What about the theory does not seem plausible? Why?

·      Do you believe the theory? Why or why not?

*plausible = possibly true : believable or realistic

You can use your computer as an information centre. If you have trouble finding anything, do not hesitate to ask for help. Write between 250 and 500 words in a document in Classroom.  

Here is a place where you can start looking for facts: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory 

To help you along, I will provide you with a number of options that you can choose from – if you have a theory yourself, you can use that. If you would rather come up with your own conspiracy theory to write about, that is okay too. 

Best of luck!
