Character/Suspect Chart Murder on the Orient Express
I designed this for my students as we're reading Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie, to help them keep track of all of the characters and the various pieces of evidence throughout the text. This was designed for an 8th grade class, but could be used for grades 6th-12th, depending on the reading level of the students.
