Exploration Activity 1

Topic:Block Island

Why i chose this topic: I chose this topic because i have visited Block Island many times and my family and i go there every year with some of my other cousins.

What I think I already know about this topic:
  • It is its own island
  • It has many different activities for visitors
  • They have many beaches
  • You can get there by taking two different kinds of ferries: the High Speed ferry and the Block Island ferry
  • People live on the island
  • It has its own airport
  • There are no squirrels on Block Island
  • They have an animal farm
  • They have their own Labrynth

Questions I want to find the answer to about this topic:

  • What is the population of people that live there?
  • How many beaches do they have?
  • What type of buisnesses/industries do they have on the islands?
  • What animals live there and how did they get there?
  • How many tourists do they have per year?
  • How did the island get its name?
  • Who founded the island?
  • How many ferry trips do they have per day?
  • How many stairs are there to get to the bottom of the Mohegan Bluffs?
  • How many lighthouses do they have?
