The King of Tides
"OK, here's the deal." The gruff inspector snarled as he spoke to your
team of detectives. "For a long time people have been blamin' things on the moon! People claim to be crazy because of it,
lovers claim to be under its spell, and even hospitals blame the full moon for loaded emergency rooms." "Yeah!", one of the
newer members of your team replied flippantly, "So what's new?" The rest of your team let out a low sigh. Now the whole team
was in for it! "I'll tell you what's new, Mr. Smartypants," the inspector glowered at each of you slowly, "Now some nutcase
has brought charges against the moon for causing the tides! And, its your job to bring me proof one way or another!" The inspector
turned back toward his desk and we thought he was through. He wasn't! He turned back to your team, pointed his finger at you
and said, "And you only have two weeks to solve the case. Now get started!"

The Castle Builder
During the Medieval era of history, life was lived by a very different
set of political, economic, and social rules. The only form of government was a Monarchy where the king or queen ruled by
"divine right." "Divine right" simply meant that God appointed the king or queen to rule with absolute power. The main economic
system was Feudalism in which the king appointed a baron or knight to oversee a portion of his land in return for loyalty
and protection in case of invasion. The baron or knight would oversee the serfs who labored on the land in return for protection
given by the baron or knight.
