Canada Is Not That Strange And Other Biases | Wednesday | Period 2
Fraser back in the classroom today, looking relaxed and refreshed after the holiday break. He smiled and nodded as the students filed in.
"Welcome back. I hope everyone had a good holiday. Today, we're going to talk about something a little close to home. I'm sure all of us have been new to the island at one point or another. And I'm sure all of us have heard different stories and legends from people who might have been here longer than you. So, my question for today is what's the strangest thing you've heard that's turned out to be false? Did someone tell you the ocean burped chocolate? Did someone tell you one of the teachers was a three headed hydra?"
That one, Fraser admitted, could be true one day.
"Conversely, what's the strangest thing you've been told that's turned out to be true? In talking about things like this, we can see firsthand how urban legends begin. They might take root in a small fact but grow when people embellish the fact to make it seem like it something more than it is. Let's discuss."
