Murder in the library| Oh no!!! There is a murder in the library.
I have struggled with my lesson plans since the beginning of this month. I really need something fun and innovation to share it with my class. Kids will be kids, they like to play so that I try to make my learning time not so dull and bored.
Credit to elementaryecon.com for this brilliant kit!
OBJECTIVE:
Students will write their own mysteries after observing an in-library crime scene and to make it more interesting they will perform a roleplay in the library.
THE CRIME SCENE:
Before class, construct some sort of crime scene in the library. You can refer to the picture below of the one that I made for ideas.
CLASS DISCUSSION:
I begin the session by telling them five essential elements of a mystery. I ask my students which mystery books they like the best and why they like it so much. The five elements are:
- Crime - Obviously every mystery must have a mystery!
- Detective-Every mystery needs someone who going to attempt to solve the crime. This person doesn't have to be an official detective, but someone has to lead the investigation.
- Suspects- People who might have committed the crime.
- Clues-Discuss what kind of things can be clues. Like me, I put everything in the crime scene area
- Solution- every mystery needs to have some sort of solution to close the mystery. Ask students what do they think about the mystery and ask them to come out with the plan to solve it
WRITING ACTIVITY:
I divided them into a group of 5 persons. Then instruct the students to gather around the crime scene group by group. tell them to observe the crime scene and take notes on any clues. Next, tell the kids that they will write their own mysteries based on the crime scene. After the students have written their stories, they need to do role play in the library and guess what? I can't share photos of my students but they definitely loveddd itt.
