In January 1992, a metal container fell from a ship in the Pacific Ocean. There were 28,000 plastic ducks inside the container. Ducks sailed on ocean currents. Since then, they have appeared on beaches around the world. They landed in Canada and Alaska. People have found them in Scotland and the Arctic. They traveled thousands of miles to the coasts of Europe, South America and Australia. But they have not yet finished their incredible journey. Scientists have studied duck beetles around the world and relied heavily on ocean currents. They think that about 2,000 ducks are still in the sea more than 20 years later! Writer Donovan Hon wrote a book about them. Its title is Moby-Duck, as his favorite book is Moby-Dick, a classic novel about the search for the white whale. Moby-Duck is a search for thousands of yellow ducks for the bath! But it's much more than that. This has drawn attention to the terrible problem of plastic pollution: how bags, bottles and other containers form islands of rubbish that have been floating around the world for years, poisoning our oceans. Answer the questions your notebook. 1 Where were the ducks before they were in the sea? 2 How did the ducks arrive in Alaska? 3 Why did Donovan Hohn call his book Moby-Duck? 4 What problem does Moby-Duck talk about? 5 What kind of sea pollution does the text mention?

Overcrowded, dirty and awash with sewage… it’s hardly surprising that the bubonic plague flourished in the crowded streets of London. Over 15% of London’s population was wiped out between 1665 and 1666 alone, or some 100,000 people in the space of two years. But where did all these bodies go?

The answer: in tens, if not hundreds of plague pits scattered across the city and the surrounding countryside. The majority of these sites were originally in the grounds of churches, but as the body count grew and the graveyards became overcharged with dead, then dedicated pits were hastily constructed around the fields surrounding London.Unfortunately there is very little evidence about the exact location of these plague pits. Instead, to construct the map below we have had to use a variety of sources including Peter Ackroyd’s London: The Biography, Daniel Defoe’s A Journal of the Plague Year, Basil Holmes’ The London Burial Grounds: Notes on Their History From the Earliest Times to the Present Day, the internet, as well as help from our social media channels!

The map below is an ongoing project and we’re always in search of new sites, so if you know of any omissions then please let us know by using the contact form at the bottom of this page.
