The Hope Diamond/Reported Speech

Hi to My L5 Class,

We are currently working on reported speech in the passive voice.  In our book there is a story on The Hope Diamond - what some people consider the most beautiful diamond in the world!  Watch the video and listen for reported speech in the passive voice, can you recognize the grammar structure?

More questions about the report: 

1) Why is it called the Hope Diamond?  
2) What color is it and why? 
3) How much does it weigh?
4) Where was it found? 
5) Who owned it?  
6) How did it become part of the Smithsonian Institute's museum collection? 
7) Why is it considered "cursed", do you believe it?

Enjoy!

Best,
Teacher Bonnie
